Comments
Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityCTP + ethanolamine phosphate = diphosphate + CDP-ethanolamine.
Disruption PhenotypeEmbryonic lethality when homozygous. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17189343}.
FunctionPlays an important role in the biosynthesis of the phospholipid phosphatidylethanolamine. Catalyzes the formation of CDP-ethanolamine. Essential for early embryonic development. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17189343}.
PathwayPhospholipid metabolism; phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis; phosphatidylethanolamine from ethanolamine: step 2/3.
SimilarityBelongs to the cytidylyltransferase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationMitochondrion outer membrane {ECO:0000305|PubMed:17189343, ECO:0000305|PubMed:21896887}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305|PubMed:17189343, ECO:0000305|PubMed:21896887}.
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in root tip, lateral root primordia, leaves, shoot apex, stem vascular bundles, pollen and embryos. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17189343}.
