Cytidine triphosphate

  • Cytidine 5'-triphosphate
  • CTP
  • [( 2R, 3S, 4R, 5R ) -5 - (4-amino -2- oxopyrimidine -1-yl ) - 3,4- dihydroxyoxolan -2-yl ] methyl (hydroxy phosphonooxyphosphoryl ) hydrogen phosphate (IUPAC)

Cytidine triphosphate (CTP ) is a nucleoside with the base cytosine. It is an RNA component that is installed to loss of two phosphate groups in the RNA.

CTP can bind phosphocholine with elimination of pyrophosphate and then transferred to another molecule, eg, a diglyceride. In this way, a phosphatide. Accordingly, CTP or CDP -choline ( cytidine diphosphate -choline ) in the Phosphatidsynthese play a role.
