Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 1119
Gene name Choline kinase alpha
Gene symbol CHKA
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CHKCKCKIEKNEDMIMS
Chromosome 11
Chromosome location 11q13.2
Summary The 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
