Function

Choline/H+ antiporter (PubMed:19357133, PubMed:23651124, PubMed:31855247, PubMed:33789160). Also acts as a high-affinity ethanolamine/H+ antiporter, regulating the supply of extracellular ethanolamine (Etn) for the CDP-Etn pathway, redistribute intracellular Etn and balance the CDP-Cho and CDP-Etn arms of the Kennedy pathway (PubMed:33789160). Involved in membrane synthesis and myelin production (PubMed:31855247).

Involvement in disease

Neurodegeneration, childhood-onset, with ataxia, tremor, optic atrophy, and cognitive decline

CONATOC

An autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive ataxia, tremor, cognitive decline, dysphagia, optic atrophy, dysarthria, as well as urinary and bowel incontinence. Brain MRI demonstrates cerebellar atrophy and leukoencephalopathy.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
