4da5
From Proteopedia
Contents |
Choline Kinase alpha acts through a double-displacement kinetic mechanism involving enzyme isomerisation, as determined through enzyme and inhibitor kinetics and structural biology
Function
[CHKA_HUMAN] Has a key role in phospholipid biosynthesis and may contribute to tumor cell growth. Catalyzes the first step in phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. Contributes to phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis. Phosphorylates choline and ethanolamine. Has higher activity with choline.[1]
