ethanolamine kinase 1; EKI 1 (ETNK1, EKI1)

Function: - highly specific for ethanolamine phosphorylation - may be a rate-controlling step in phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis - phospholipid metabolism; phosphatidylethanolamine - biosynthesis; phosphatidylethanolamine from ethanolamine: step 1/3 ATP + ethanolamine = ADP + O-phosphoethanolamine Structure: - belongs to the choline/ethanolamine kinase family Compartment: cytoplasm Expression: - expressed in kidney, liver, placenta, heart, leukocyte, ovary & testis
