Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image   Print3D Function Choline kinase (CK) catalyzes the conversion of choline and ATP to phosphocholine and ADP. CK is part of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. Disease Overexpression of CK α1 was found in various types of cancer cells. This can aid in promoting cancer cells survival and growth. CK α1 is used as cancer biomarker and anticancer drug target. Structural highlights The choline binds to CK in a deep hydrophobic groove (PDB code 2ckq; Hydrophobic, Polar) and the ADP binds in a cleft (PDB code 2ckp). 3D structures of choline kinase Choline kinase 3D structures
