Name

SLC35B3 Gene

solute carrier family 35 (adenosine 3'-phospho 5'-phosphosulfate transporter), member B3

This gene is a member of the solute carrier family. The encoded protein is involved in the transport of 3-prime phosphoadenosine 5-prime phosphosulfate (PAPS) from the nucleus or the cytosol to the Golgi lumen. This gene has been reported to be expressed preferentially in the human colon tissues. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]

SLC35B2 Gene

solute carrier family 35 (adenosine 3'-phospho 5'-phosphosulfate transporter), member B2

Sulfotransferases (e.g., SULT4A1; MIM 608359) use an activated form of sulfate, 3-prime-phosphoadenosine 5-prime-phosphosulfate (PAPS), as a common sulfate donor for sulfation of glycoproteins, proteoglycans, and glycolipids in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. SLC35B2 is located in the microsomal membrane and transports PAPS from the cytosol, where it is synthesized, into the Golgi lumen (Kamiyama et al., 2003 [PubMed 12716889]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

LOC100419356 Gene

ethanolamine kinase 1 pseudogene

ETNK2 Gene

ethanolamine kinase 2

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]

ETNK1 Gene

ethanolamine kinase 1

This gene encodes an ethanolamine kinase, which functions in the first committed step of the phosphatidylethanolamine synthesis pathway. This cytosolic enzyme is specific for ethanolamine and exhibits negligible kinase activity on choline. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

CEPT1 Gene

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]
