catalytic activity:ATP + 1,2-diacylglycerol = ADP + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate.,catalytic activity:ATP + acylglycerol = ADP + acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate.,cofactor:Magnesium.,function:Lipid kinase that can phosphorylate both monoacylglycerol and diacylglycerol to form lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and phosphatidic acid (PA), respectively. Does not phosphorylate sphingosine. Overexpression increases the formation and secretion of LPA, resulting in transactivation of EGFR and activation of the downstream MAPK signaling pathway, leading to increased cell growth.,miscellaneous:Overexpressed in prostate cancer, suggesting that it may play a role in initiation and progression of prostate cancer, processes in which LPA plays key roles.,pathway:Lipid metabolism; glycerolipid metabolism.,similarity:Contains 1 DAGKc domain.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in muscle, heart, kidney and brain.,
Mitochondrion inner membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein . Mitochondrion intermembrane space . Localizes in the mitochondrion intermembrane space, where it associates with the inner membrane (PubMed:28712724). It is unclear whether the N-terminal hydrophobic region forms a transmembrane region or associates with the membrane without crossing it (PubMed:28712724, PubMed:28712726). .
Highly expressed in muscle, heart, kidney and brain.
