Human Gene PCYT1B (uc004dbi.3)
  Description: Homo sapiens phosphate cytidylyltransferase 1, choline, beta (PCYT1B), transcript variant 1, mRNA.
RefSeq Summary (NM_004845): The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the cytidylyltransferase family. It is involved in the regulation of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009].

  ID: PCY1B_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Choline-phosphate cytidylyltransferase B; EC=2.7.7.15; AltName: Full=CCT-beta; AltName: Full=CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase B; Short=CCT B; Short=CT B; AltName: Full=Phosphorylcholine transferase B;
FUNCTION: Controls phosphatidylcholine synthesis.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: CTP + phosphocholine = diphosphate + CDP- choline.
PATHWAY: Phospholipid metabolism; phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis; phosphatidylcholine from phosphocholine: step 1/2.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Endoplasmic reticulum.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in testis, placenta, brain, ovary and fetus.
PTM: Extensively phosphorylated. The beta-1 isoform seems to be much less phosphorylated.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the cytidylyltransferase family.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
