简介 | 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] Diseases associated with DOLK include Congenital Disorder Of Glycosylation, Type Im and Familial Isolated Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Among its related pathways are Synthesis of substrates in N-glycan biosythesis and Diseases of glycosylation. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include dolichol kinase activity. Catalyzes CTP-mediated phosphorylation of dolichol, the terminal step in de novo dolichyl monophosphate (Dol-P) biosynthesis (PubMed:12213788, 16923818, 17273964). Dol-P is a lipid carrier essential for the synthesis of N-linked and O-linked oligosaccharides and for GPI anchors (PubMed:12213788).
