the chain length of eukaryotic dolichol molecules is species specific and differs from 14-17 isoprene units in unicellular organisms like the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, mammalian cells produce longer dolichol molecules with 18-21 isoprene units
DK1 is responsible for the final step of the de novo biosynthesis of dolichol phosphate, defect in human DK1 affects the biosynthesis of dolichol phosphate by the disturbance of the final phosphorylation step, causes lethal phenotype with death in early infancy.
dolichyl phosphate is involved in several glycosylation reactions, such as N-glycosylation, glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis, and C- and O-mannosylation

Cytidine 5'-triphosphate-dependent dolichol kinase and dolichol phosphatase activities and levels of dolichyl phosphate in microsomal fractions from highly differentiated human hepatomas.
extracts gained from patient fibroblasts show remarkably lower enzyme activity than extracts from control cells, in comparison with controls, the decrease in activity was 94.5-98.6% for all patients
human DOLK deficiency, also known as DOLK-CDG or CDG-Im, results in a syndrome that manifests with dilated cardiomyopathy of variable severity, phenotype with dysmorphic features, genital abnormalities, talipes equinovarus, and severe, refractory generalized seizures. Additional multi-systemicmanifestations develop including dilated cardiomyopathy, hepatomegaly, severe insulin-resistant hyperglycemia, and renal failure, which are ultimately fatal in the first months
dolichol kinase catalyzes the final step in biosynthesis of dolichol phosphate, which is the oligosaccharide carrier required for protein N-glycosylation
dolichol metabolim, the enzymatic product dolichyl phosphate is a lipid carrier embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane essential for the synthesis of N-glycans, GPI-anchors and protein C- and O-mannosylation
a deficiency of dolichol kinase, catalyzing the final step of dolichol phosphate synthesis is the first defect of the dolichyl phosphate pathway known to cause a severe hypoglycosylation phenotype in humans, length, weight and head circumference are normal at birth but secondary microcephaly, developing in the first month of life is a common finding in all patients
identifikation of 4 patients who are homozygous for one of 2 mutations (C99S and Y441S) in the corresponding hDK1 gene, the residual activity of mutant is 2-4% when compared with control cells, the mutated alleles fail to complement the temperature-sensitive phenotype of dolichol kinase-deficient yeast cells, whereas the wild-type allele restores the normal growth phenotype, affected patients present with a very severe clinical phenotype, with death in early infancy, 2 of the patients died from dilative cardiomyopathy
