REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.
User storage instructions:
Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.

Ethanolamine kinase often referred to as ETNK1 is an enzyme known for its role in phospholipid metabolism. It catalyzes the phosphorylation of ethanolamine to produce phosphoethanolamine. This enzyme has a molecular weight of approximately 45 kDa. Ethanolamine kinase is expressed in various tissues including liver and brain indicating its importance in systemic metabolic processes.
Biological function summary
The enzyme is involved in the Kennedy pathway which is responsible for the biosynthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine an important membrane lipid. Ethanolamine kinase operates independently and is not part of any larger protein complex. It supports cellular functions including membrane formation and repair which are critical for proper cell function and signaling.
Pathways
Ethanolamine kinase plays a significant role in the phospholipid biosynthesis pathway and the related glycerophospholipid metabolism pathway. In these pathways it interacts with other enzymes like CTP:phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase shaping the production and regulation of membrane phospholipids. These pathways are essential for maintaining cellular membrane integrity and fluidity.
Ethanolamine kinase has been linked to neurological disorders. Abnormalities in its function can lead to issues in brain phospholipid metabolism potentially contributing to conditions like Alzheimer's disease. Additionally alterations in ethanolamine kinase expression or activity might impact proteins involved in neurodegenerative processes further influencing disease progression.
