Diacylglycerol kinase (CTP dependent)

Diacylglycerol kinase (CTP dependent) (, DAG kinase, CTP-dependent diacylglycerol kinase, diglyceride kinase) is an enzyme with systematic name CTP:1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphotransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * CTP + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol $$\rightleftharpoons$$ CDP + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate

This enzyme requires Ca2+ or Mg2+ for activity.
