ETNK2 Polyclonal Antibody, PE-Cy5.5 Conjugated

Ethanolamine kinase 2, also known as EKI2, ETNK2 or HMFT1716, is a 386 amino acid protein that belongs to the choline/ethanolamine kinase family. Via the cytidine diphosphate (CDP) ethanolamine pathway, Ethanolamine kinase 2 catalyses the initial step of phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) biosynthesis. Ethanolamine kinase 2 is expressed in kidney, liver, testis, ovary and prostate, and is highly specific for ethanolamine phosphorylation. Upregulated during testis development, Ethanolamine kinase 2 may play an essential role in regulating placental hemostasis. Existing as three alternatively spliced isoforms, the gene encoding Ethanolamine kinase 2 maps to human and mouse chromosome 1. Human chromosome 1 spans 260 million base pairs, contains over 3,000 genes, comprises nearly 8% of the human genome and houses a large number of disease-associated genes, including those that are involved in familial adenomatous polyposis, Stickler syndrome, Parkinson?s disease, Gaucher disease, schizophrenia and Usher syndrome.
