Abstract excerpt
Ethanolamine kinase (ATP:ethanolamine O-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1. 82) catalyzes the committed step of phosphatidylethanolamine synthesis via the CDP-ethanolamine pathway. The gene encoding ethanolamine kinase (EKI1) was identified from the Saccharomyces Genome Data Base (locus YDR147W) based on its homology to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae CKI1-encoded choline kinase, which also exhibits ethanolamine kinase...
