Diacylglycerol kinase; Catalyzes the phosphorylation of diacylglycerol (DAG) into phosphatidic acid. Is involved in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIMs), probably via a role in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylinositol (PI), a PIM precursor, which is derived from phosphatidic acid (By similarity); Belongs to the diacylglycerol/lipid kinase family.
