Structural highlights
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]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Dual binding modes: Combined empirical and computational studies of a series of compounds showed adenine and 1-benzyl-4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium fragments to function most efficiently in binding CHOKalpha1, and also determined how the latter fragment interacts with the choline binding site through two different binding modes. These data provide a basis for the future design of better and more selective inhibitors.
