Gene information for CHKA (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1119
Official gene symbolCHKA
Full namecholine kinase alpha
Aliases,CHK,CK,CKI,EK,
Gene summaryThe major pathway for the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine occurs via the CDP-choline pathway. The protein encoded by this gene is the initial enzyme in the sequence and may play a regulatory role. The encoded protein also catalyzes the phosphorylation of ethanolamine. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
