Complementary DNAs homologous to a rat 42-kDa choline/ethanolamine kinase [C. Aoyama et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1390 (1998) 1-7] and to a 50-kDa choline kinase [T. Uchida and S. Yamashita, J. Biol. Chem. 267 (1992) 10156-10162] were isolated from a 17-day post coitum mouse embryo cDNA library and their sequences were compared with the two murine species, respectively. The nucleotide sequence homology (within the coding sequence) between mouse and rat 50-kDa choline kinases (96.0%) was considerably higher than that between their 42-kDa choline/ethanolamine kinases (92.4%). Northern blot and RT-PCR studies on several rat tissues demonstrated that both isozymes are expressed ubiquitously with the highest level in testis.
从妊娠17天的小鼠胚胎cDNA文库中分离出与大鼠42 kDa胆碱/乙醇胺激酶[C. Aoyama等人,《生物化学与生物物理学报》1390 (1998) 1 - 7]和50 kDa胆碱激酶[T. Uchida和S. Yamashita,《生物化学杂志》267 (1992) 10156 - 10162]同源的互补DNA,并分别将它们的序列与两种小鼠物种的序列进行比较。小鼠和大鼠50 kDa胆碱激酶之间(编码序列内)的核苷酸序列同源性(96.0%)明显高于它们42 kDa胆碱/乙醇胺激酶之间的同源性(92.4%)。对几种大鼠组织进行的Northern印迹和RT-PCR研究表明,两种同工酶在全身均有表达,在睾丸中的表达水平最高。
