DOLK dolichol kinase

Gene ID: 22845, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DK; DK1; CDG1M; SEC59; TMEM15

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the CTP-mediated phosphorylation of dolichol, and is involved in the synthesis of Dol-P-Man, which is an essential glycosyl carrier lipid for C- and O-mannosylation, N- and O-linked glycosylation of proteins, and for the biosynthesis of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol anchors in endoplasmic reticulum. Mutations in this gene are associated with dolichol kinase deficiency.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]
