Primary Identifier | MGI:107760 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 12660 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables choline kinase activity; cholinesterase activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within CDP-choline pathway. Predicted to be located in lipid droplet. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including future brain; gut; liver; metanephros; and neural retina. Orthologous to human CHKA (choline kinase alpha). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit embryonic lethality between E3.5 and E7.5. [provided by MGI curators] |
