choline kinase alpha

The major pathway for the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine occurs via the CDP-choline pathway. The protein encoded by this gene is the initial enzyme in the sequence and may play a regulatory role. The encoded protein also catalyzes the phosphorylation of ethanolamine. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

choline kinase beta

Choline kinase (CK) and ethanolamine kinase (EK) catalyze the phosphorylation of choline/ethanolamine to phosphocholine/phosphoethanolamine. This is the first enzyme in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylethanolamine in all animal cells. The highly purified CKs from mammalian sources and their recombinant gene products have been shown to have EK activity also, indicating that both activities reside on the same protein. The choline kinase-like protein encoded by CHKL belongs to the choline/ethanolamine kinase family; however, its exact function is not known. Read-through transcripts are expressed from this locus that include exons from the downstream CPT1B locus. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009]

phosphate cytidylyltransferase 1, choline, alpha

This gene belongs to the cytidylyltransferase family and is involved in the regulation of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with spondylometaphyseal dysplasia with cone-rod dystrophy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

phosphate cytidylyltransferase 1, choline, beta

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the cytidylyltransferase family. It is involved in the regulation of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

choline O-acetyltransferase

This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This gene product is a characteristic feature of cholinergic neurons, and changes in these neurons may explain some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome associated with episodic apnea. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, and some of these variants have been shown to encode more than one isoform. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

choline phosphotransferase 1

Enables diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase activity. Involved in phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process and platelet activating factor biosynthetic process. Is active in Golgi membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

choline dehydrogenase

The protein encoded by this gene is a choline dehydrogenase that localizes to the mitochondrion. Variations in this gene can affect susceptibility to choline deficiency. A few transcript variants have been found for this gene, but the full-length nature of only one has been characterized to date. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

solute carrier family 44 (choline transporter), member 1

Enables choline transmembrane transporter activity and ethanolamine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in choline transport; ethanolamine transport; and transmembrane transport. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; mitochondrial outer membrane; and nucleoplasm. Implicated in high grade glioma. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

solute carrier family 44 (choline transporter), member 2

Enables choline transmembrane transporter activity and ethanolamine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in choline transport; ethanolamine transport; and transmembrane transport. Located in mitochondrial outer membrane and plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

choline/ethanolamine phosphotransferase 1

This gene codes for a choline/ethanolaminephosphotransferase, which functions in the synthesis of choline- or ethanolamine- containing phospholipids. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]

solute carrier family 5 (sodium/choline cotransporter), member 7

This gene encodes a sodium ion- and chloride ion-dependent high-affinity transporter that mediates choline uptake for acetylcholine synthesis in cholinergic neurons. The protein transports choline from the extracellular space into presynaptic terminals for synthesis into acetylcholine. Increased choline uptake results from increased density of this protein in synaptosomal plasma membranes in response to depolarization of cholinergic terminals. Dysfunction of cholinergic signaling has been implicated in various disorders including depression, attention-deficit disorder, and schizophrenia. An allelic variant of this gene is associated with autosomal dominant distal hereditary motor neuronopathy type VIIA. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
