CTP synthase 1 [SEP] found in taxon
CTP synthase 1
CTP synthase 1 is an enzyme that in human s is encoded by the "CTPS" gene.
Function.
The catalytic conversion of uridine triphosphate (UTP) to cytidine triphosphate (CTP) is accomplished by the enzyme cytidine-5-prime-triphosphate synthetase. This enzyme is important in the biosynthesis of phospholipids and nucleic acids, and plays a key role in cell growth, development, and tumorigenesis.
CDP-archaeol synthase
CDP-archaeol synthase (, "CDP-2,3-di-O-geranylgeranyl-sn-glycerol synthase", "CTP:2,3-GG-GP ether cytidylyltransferase", "CTP:2,3-di-O-geranylgeranyl-sn-glycero-1-phosphate cytidyltransferase") is an enzyme with systematic name "CTP:2,3-bis-O-(geranylgeranyl)-sn-glycero-1-phosphate cytidylyltransferase". This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
This enzyme catalyses one of the steps in the biosynthesis of polar lipids in Archaea.
