Choline kinase alpha is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CHKA gene.^[5]^[6]^[7]

The major pathway for the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine occurs via the CDP-choline pathway. The protein encoded by this gene is the initial enzyme in the sequence and may play a regulatory role. The encoded protein also catalyzes the phosphorylation of ethanolamine. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.^[7]

In melanocytic cells CHKA gene expression may be regulated by MITF.^[8]

Clinical significance

Mutations of the CHKA gene cause a neurodevelopmental disorder with epilepsy and microcephaly.^[9]
