Chkb - choline kinase beta Gene

Also Known as Ck; Ek; Ckb; Chkl; Chetk; Ck/Ek; Ckekb; Ck/Ek-beta

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 12651

Summary

Enables Choline Kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within muscle organ development and phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; cranium; heart; and sensory organ. Used to study megaconial type congenital muscular dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intellectual disability; megaconial type congenital muscular dystrophy; muscular dystrophy; narcolepsy; and recurrent hypersomnia. Orthologous to human CHKB (Choline Kinase beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
