Catalytic ActivityATP + ethanolamine = ADP + O- phosphoethanolamine.
Disruption PhenotypeBang sensitive phenotype; induction of paralysis with electrical stimulation results in a brief seizure, followed by a failure of the muscles to respond to giant fiber stimulation. This is due to an excitability defect caused by altered membrane phospholipid composition. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7923374}.
FunctionHighly specific for ethanolamine phosphorylation. May be a rate-controlling step in phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7923374}.
PathwayPhospholipid metabolism; phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis; phosphatidylethanolamine from ethanolamine: step 1/3. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7923374}.
