Target/Specificity | This Choline kinase alpha (CHK) antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 427-457 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human Choline kinase alpha (CHK). |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is prepared by Saturated Ammonium Sulfate (SAS) precipitation followed by dialysis against PBS. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | Choline kinase alpha (CHK) Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |

Synonyms | CHK, CKI {ECO:0000303|PubMed:1618328} |
Function | Plays a key role in phospholipid biosynthesis by catalyzing the phosphorylation of free choline to phosphocholine, the first step in phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis (PubMed:17007874, PubMed:19915674, PubMed:23416529, PubMed:34077757). Also phosphorylates ethanolamine, thereby contributing to phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis (PubMed:17007874, PubMed:19915674). Has higher activity with choline (PubMed:17007874, PubMed:19915674). May contribute to tumor cell growth (PubMed:19915674). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytosol. |

Background
The major pathway for the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine occurs via the CDP-choline pathway. Choline kinase alpha is the initial enzyme in the sequence and may play a regulatory role. This protein also catalyzes the phosphorylation of ethanolamine. The antibody for this protein recognizes both isoforms.
