Summary: Enables choline kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within muscle organ development and phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; cranium; heart; and sensory organ. Used to study megaconial type congenital muscular dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intellectual disability; megaconial type congenital muscular dystrophy; muscular dystrophy; narcolepsy; and recurrent hypersomnia. Orthologous to human CHKB (choline kinase beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.

NR_037153.1 RNA Sequence

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) includes an extra segment in the central region, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the supported translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
