Add article description

Diacylglycerol kinase (CTP dependent) (EC 2.7.1.174, DAG kinase, CTP-dependent diacylglycerol kinase, diglyceride kinase) is an enzyme with systematic name CTP:1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphotransferase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

CTP + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol CDP + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate
Quick Facts Identifiers, EC no. ...

This enzyme requires Ca2+ or Mg2+ for activity.
