ETNK1 ethanolamine kinase 1 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 55500)

Symbol: ETNK1

Full name: ethanolamine kinase 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: EKI; EKI 1; EKI1; Nbla10396

Summary: 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.

Expression: Ubiquitous expression in stomach (RPKM 14.8), colon (RPKM 12.5) and 25 other tissues

Orthologs: mouse

Gene size: 65495bp

Exon count: 13
