Choline kinase alpha

UniProtKB accession:  P35790

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Plays a key role in phospholipid biosynthesis by catalyzing the phosphorylation of free choline to phosphocholine, the first step in phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis (PubMed:19915674, PubMed:34077757, PubMed:17007874). Also phosphorylates ethanolamine, thereby contributing to phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis (PubMed:19915674, PubMed:17007874). Has higher activity with choline (PubMed:19915674, PubMed:17007874). May contribute to tumor cell growth (PubMed:19915674).
