Insights into the Role of Choline Kinase in Endochondral Bone Formation and Human Osteoblasts Function
DownloadSpring 2014
Choline kinase (CK) phosphorylates choline to phosphocholine (PCho) and is the first enzyme in the CDP-choline pathway that generates phosphatidylcholine (PC). CK has three isoforms (CKα1, CKα2 and CKβ) that are encoded by two genes, Chkα and Chkb. Inactivation of Chkα results in embryonic...
