Summary: Enables choline-phosphate cytidylyltransferase activity. Involved in B cell proliferation; CDP-choline pathway; and isotype switching. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and glycogen granule. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; ear; genitourinary system; and integumental system.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
