Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable choline kinase activity and ethanolamine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in CDP-choline pathway and phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including colon adenoma; megaconial type congenital muscular dystrophy; narcolepsy; and recurrent hypersomnia. Is an ortholog of human CHKA (choline kinase alpha) and CHKB (choline kinase beta).
