|
| Function |
Catalyzes phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis from CDP-ethanolamine. It thereby plays a central role in the formation and maintenance of vesicular membranes. Involved in the formation of phosphatidylethanolamine via 'Kennedy' pathway.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Widely expressed. Abundant in brain, placenta, liver and pancreas, followed by heart, skeletal muscle, lung and kidney. In brain it is strongly expressed in cerebellum, followed by the occipital pole and the frontal lobe. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17132865}.
