[Choline Kinase, encoded by the human CHK gene, produces phosphocholine from choline. The major pathway for the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine occurs via the CDP-choline pathway. Choline kinase is the initial enzyme in the sequence and may play a regulatory role. Choline kinase also catalyzes the phosphorylation of ethanolamine. (From LocusLink and NCI) ( NCI )]
