Uniprot Description
Lipid kinase that can phosphorylate both monoacylglycerol and diacylglycerol to form lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and phosphatidic acid (PA), respectively (PubMed:15252046). Does not phosphorylate sphingosine (PubMed:15252046). Independently of its lipid kinase activity, acts as a component of the TIM22 complex (). The TIM22 complex mediates the import and insertion of multi-pass transmembrane proteins into the mitochondrial inner membrane by forming a twin-pore translocase that uses the membrane potential as the external driving force (). In the TIM22 complex, required for the import of a subset of metabolite carriers into mitochtondria, such as ANT1/SLC25A4 and SLC25A24, while it is not required for the import of TIMM23 (). Overexpression increases the formation and secretion of LPA, resulting in transactivation of EGFR and activation of the downstream MAPK signaling pathway, leading to increased cell growth ().

It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of
"Acylglycerol kinase, mitochondrial (Agk), Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of
the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always
suggest centrifuging these vials
to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to
opening. Please be advised that
certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an
additional dry ice fee may also be
required.
