    Summary
    Enables choline kinase activity. Involved in CDP-choline pathway and IRE1-mediated unfolded protein response. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including excretory gland cell; head mesodermal cell; intestine; pharyngeal gland cell; and uterine seam cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intellectual disability; megaconial type congenital muscular dystrophy; muscular dystrophy; narcolepsy; and recurrent hypersomnia. Orthologous to human CHKA (choline kinase alpha) and CHKB (choline kinase beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
