Agk - acylglycerol kinase Gene

Also known as RGD1562046

About Agk

Summary

Predicted to enable acylglycerol kinase activity; ceramide kinase activity; and diacylglycerol kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in ceramide biosynthetic process; phosphorylation; and protein insertion into mitochondrial inner membrane. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial inner membrane and mitochondrial intermembrane space. Predicted to be integral component of mitochondrial inner membrane. Predicted to be part of TIM22 mitochondrial import inner membrane insertion complex. Predicted to be active in membrane and mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Sengers syndrome and cataract 38. Orthologous to human AGK (acylglycerol kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
