This gene encodes a protein with ceramide kinase-like domains, however, the protein does not phosphorylate ceramide and its target substrate is currently unknown. This protein may be a negative regulator of apoptosis in photoreceptor cells. Mutations in this gene cause a form of retinitis pigmentosa characterized by autosomal recessive cone and rod dystrophy (arCRD). Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms and non-coding transcripts.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]. * **UniProt Summary**: N/A |DAGK cat| |sphingolipid binding| |NAD+ kinase activity| |photoreceptor inner segment| |photoreceptor outer segment| |sphingolipid biosynthetic process| |membrane lipid biosynthetic process| |sphingolipid metabolic process| |membrane lipid metabolic process| |lipid biosynthetic process| |perinuclear region of cytoplasm| |nucleolus| |cellular lipid metabolic process| |Golgi apparatus| |endoplasmic reticulum| |lipid metabolic process| |phosphorylation| |organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp270|Campthothecin 0.001μM R06 exp270]]|2.39| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
