About Chka

Summary

Enables Choline Kinase activity; cholinesterase activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in intestine; metanephros; neural retina; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human CHKA (Choline Kinase alpha).
