About Chkb

Summary

Enables Choline Kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in CDP-choline pathway and phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within muscle organ development. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. 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]
