Diacylglycerol kinase, alpha 80kDa Adenovirus
The accumulation of diacylglycerol in the nucleus is important for the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. Diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) convert diacylglycerol to phosphatidic acid, thereby terminating diacylglycerol signaling, which results in the reduction of protein kinase C activity and cell cycle progression of T-lymphocytes. Diacylglycerol kinases are divided into five subtypes, Type I – Type V. DGK-α, DGK-β and DGK-γ are Type I DGKs; DGK-δ and DGK-η are Type II DGKs; DGK-ε is a Type III DGK; DGK-ζ is a Type IV DGK; and DGK-θ is a Type V DGK.

Description (Vector)
DGKA belongs to the eukaryotic diacylglycerol kinase family. It acts as a modulator that competes with protein kinase C for the second messenger diacylglycerol in intracellular signaling pathways. It also plays an important role in the resynthesis of phosphatidylinositols and phosphorylating diacylglycerol to phosphatidic acid. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and four transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified.

About Storage Conditions
All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity.
We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
