Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionckb-2 encodes an isoform of choline kinase whose activity has beenverified in vitro; CKB-1 through CKB-4 comprise a related group ('B') ofcholine kinases; purified CKB-2 has a strong preference for choline overethanolamine, a specific activity of 2.4 micromol/min/mg protein and a pHoptimum near 10.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005916

Automated_descriptionEnables choline kinase activity. Involved in CDP-choline pathway and IRE1-mediated unfolded protein response. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Expressed in head and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including colon adenoma; megaconial type congenital muscular dystrophy; narcolepsy; and recurrent hypersomnia. Is an ortholog of human CHKA (choline kinase alpha) and CHKB (choline kinase beta).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
