Английская Википедия:Choline/ethanolamine kinase family
Шаблон:Infobox protein family In molecular biology, the choline/ethanolamine kinase family includes choline kinase(Шаблон:EC number) and ethanolamine kinase (Шаблон:EC number).
Ethanolamine and choline are major membrane phospholipids, in the form of glycerophosphoethanolamine and glycerophosphocholine. Ethanolamine is also a component of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor, which is necessary for cell-surface protein attachment.[1] The de novo synthesis of these phospholipids begins with the creation of phosphoethanolamine and phosphocholine by ethanolamine and choline kinases in the first step of the CDP-ethanolamine pathway.[2][3] There are two putative choline/ethanolamine kinases (C/EKs) in the Trypanosoma brucei genome.
Ethanolamine kinase has no choline kinase activity [1] and its activity is inhibited by ADP.[3] Inositol supplementation represses ethanolamine kinase, decreasing the incorporation of ethanolamine into the CDP-ethanolamine pathway and into phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine.[4]
