Metabolite Identification
Common NameCytidine triphosphate
DescriptionCytidine triphosphate, also known as 5'-CTP or H4CTP, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pentose phosphates. These are carbohydrate derivatives containing a pentose substituted by one or more phosphate groups. Cytidine triphosphate is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Cytidine triphosphate exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.

Enzymes

General function:
Lipid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Catalyzes the conversion of phosphatidic acid (PA) to CDP-diacylglycerol (CDP-DAG), an essential intermediate in the synthesis of phosphatidylglycerol, cardiolipin and phosphatidylinositol (By similarity). Exhibits specificity for the nature of the acyl chains at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions in the substrate, PA and the preferred acyl chain composition is 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-phosphatidic acid (By similarity). Plays an important role in regulating the growth and maturation of lipid droplets which are storage organelles at the center of lipid and energy homeostasis (By similarity).
