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 8.0.0) Enables choline kinase activity; cholinesterase activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process. 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] |
