“…For example, DGK has been shown to be modulated in response to various growth factors and hormones, such as noradrenaline (5,9,10), interleukin-2 (6,(11)(12)(13), concanavalin A (14), insulinlike growth factor-I (15), and leptin (16). Additional support for the notion that DGKs are involved in signaling derives from the observations that DGKs have been found in signaling complexes associated with Rac, phosphatidylinositol 5-kinase, Rho-GDI (17), and Ras-GRP (18), and that they are involved in the regulation of cellular growth (6,11,12,15,19). Clearly, understanding the mechanisms that regulate DGK in various signaling cascades will be essential to delineating the physiological roles of this enzyme.…”
