Metabolite Identification
Common NameCiticoline
DescriptionCiticoline, also known as CDP-colina or nicholin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrimidine ribonucleoside diphosphates. These are pyrimidine ribonucleotides with diphosphate group linked to the ribose moiety. Citicoline is a drug. Citicoline is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Citicoline exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. In cattle, citicoline is involved in the metabolic pathway called phospholipid biosynthesis pathway.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in ADP-ribose diphosphatase activity
Specific function:
Hydrolyzes ADP-ribose, IDP-ribose, CDP-glycerol, CDP-choline and CDP-ethanolamine, but not other non-reducing ADP-sugars or CDP-glucose. May be involved in immune cell signaling as suggested by the second-messenger role of ADP-ribose, which activates TRPM2 as a mediator of oxidative/nitrosative stress (By similarity).
Gene Name:
ADPRM
Uniprot ID:
A7YY53
Molecular weight:
39235.0
General function:
Lipid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Catalyzes phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis from CDP-choline. It thereby plays a central role in the formation and maintenance of vesicular membranes (By similarity).
Gene Name:
CHPT1
Uniprot ID:

General function:
Cell wall/membrane/envelope biogenesis
Specific function:
Plays an important role in the biosynthesis of the phospholipid phosphatidylethanolamine. Catalyzes the formation of CDP-ethanolamine (By similarity).

General function:
Energy production and conversion
Specific function:
Has glycerophosphoinositol phosphodiesterase activity. Hydrolyzes lysoglycerophospholipids to produce lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and the corresponding amines. Has little or no activity towards glycerophosphocholine. GDE1 activity can be modulated by G-protein signaling pathways (By similarity).

Reactions
Citicoline → Glycerol 3-phosphate + Cholinedetails
General function:
Involved in hydrolase activity
Specific function:
Acts as a acyl-protein thioesterase hydrolyzing fatty acids from S-acylated cysteine residues in proteins such as trimeric G alpha proteins or HRAS (By similarity). Has depalmitoylating activity toward KCNMA1 (By similarity). Acts as a lysophospholipase hydrolyzing various lysophospholipids including lysophosphatidylcholine (lyso-PC), lysophosphatidylethanolamine (lyso-PE), lysophosphatidylinositol (lyso-PI) and lysophosphatidylserine (lyso-PS) (By similarity). Has much higher thioesterase activity than lysophospholipase activity (By similarity). Contributes to the production of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) during blood coagulation by recognizing and cleaving plasma phospholipids to generate lysophospholipids which in turn act as substrates for ENPP2 to produce LPA (By similarity).
