Dirty Ghetto Kids (DGK) is an American skateboard company, producing skateboards and apparel. The brand is distributed by The Kayo Corp, a partnership that was established through Philadelphia professional skateboarder Stevie Williams and Troy Morgan of The Kayo Corp. [1] [2]

DGK is for those who come from nothing. It represents turning a negative into a positive and making something out of nothing against all odds.

DGK team members, Derrick Wilson, Dane Vaughn, Marcus McBride, Matty "Schmatty" Chaffin, and Lenny Rivas, assisted the foundation—"a resource for kids and teens in underserved communities providing guidance through action sports activities, supplying athletic equipment, mentoring and supervision—on January 22, 2013.

Currently, nine members of the DGK family have been cloned and identified. Although all family members have conserved catalytic domains and two cysteine rich domains, they are further classified into five groups according to the presence of additional functional domains and substrate specificity. [5] These are as follows:

Diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) are a family of enzymes that catalyze the metabolism of diacylglycerol (DAG). Two isoforms of DGK, DGKα, and DGKζ, specifically regulate the pool of DAG that is generated as a second messenger after stimulation of the T cell receptor (TCR).

Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) regulates signal transduction by modulating the balance between the two signaling lipids, diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid. DGK and its homologs occur in a wide range of multicellular organisms and the mammalian DGK is known to consist of nine members with a considera …

May 12, 2022 · DGKζ has been the most studied DGK family member. DGKζ regulates signaling from the TCR, TLR, and FcεRI and plays important roles regulating immune cell function.

DGKα is one of ten DGK family members that convert diacylglycerol (DAG) to phosphatidic acid (PA), and both DAG and PA are critical lipid second messengers in the plasma membrane. A host of important oncogenic proteins and pathways affect cancer cells in part through DGKα, including the c-Met and VEGF receptors.
