Summary: Enables ethanolamine kinase activity. Involved in phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including in utero embryonic development; phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthetic process; and placenta development. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; intestine; liver; and lung. Orthologous to human ETNK2 (ethanolamine kinase 2).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
