Entrez gene ID | | 55500 |
Official gene symbol | | ETNK1 |
Full name | | ethanolamine kinase 1 |
Aliases | | ,EKI,EKI 1,EKI1,Nbla10396, |
Gene summary | | This gene encodes an ethanolamine kinase, which functions in the first committed step of the phosphatidylethanolamine synthesis pathway. This cytosolic enzyme is specific for ethanolamine and exhibits negligible kinase activity on choline. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
