Cytidine diphosphate choline, structure

Common Name Citidoline cytidine diphosphate choline Structural Formula ... [Pg.347]

This enzyme catalyses sphingomyelin synthesis from cytidine diphosphate choline. The sphingomyelins ate an important class of structural phospholipids found in cell membrane structures. [Pg.57]

The nucleotide coenzymes are structurally related to the mononucleotides. Typical nucleotide coenzymes are adenosine triphosphate (ATP), flavin-adenine-dinucleotide (FAD) and numerous other phosphate esters of complex structure, containing adenosine, guanosine, cytidine or uridine. Five coenzymes are known for example, which are derived from cytidine diphosphate (CDP) CDP-choline, CDP-ethanolamine, CDP-diglyceride, CDP-glycerol and CDP-ribitol. [Pg.788]

Cytidine phosphates cytidine S -monophosphate (CMP, cytidylic acid, M, 323.2), cytidine 5 -diphos-phate (CDP, M, 403.19) and cytidine 5 -triphosphate (CTP, M, 483.16). For structure, see e. g. Pyrimidine biosynthesis. CTP is a precursor of RNA synthesis, while deoxy-CTP is a precursor of DNA synthesis. CDP may be regarded as the coenzyme of phospholipid biosynthesis (see Membrane lipids) (activated choline is CDP-choline). Glycerol and the sugar alcohol, ribitol, are also activated by bonding to CDP (see Nucleoside diphosphate sugars). Reduction of ribose... [Pg.150]
