Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityATP + choline = ADP + phosphocholine.
FunctionInvolved in phospholipid biosynthesis. Catalyzes the first step in phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
InductionBy wounding, and salt and osmotic stresses. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15147879, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9342878}.
PathwayPhospholipid metabolism; phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis; phosphocholine from choline: step 1/1.
Sequence CautionSequence=AAG51828.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
SimilarityBelongs to the choline/ethanolamine kinase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in roots. Expressed at low levels in cauline leaves and flowers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9342878}.
