ETNK2 - ethanolamine kinase 2 Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as EKI2; HMFT1716

Gene ID: 55224 | Gene type: protein coding

About ETNK2

Cytogenetic location: 1q32.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:204,131,062-204,152,044 (from NCBI)

This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants), 215 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Biased expression in testis (RPKM 38.7), liver (RPKM 35.9) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of choline/ethanolamine kinase family which catalyzes the first step of phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) biosynthesis via the cytidine diphosphate (CDP) ethanolamine pathway. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
