metabolism
the MEP cytidylyltransferase, or IspD catalyzes the second committed step of the methyl erythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway. The MEP pathway is essential for the production of isoprenoids
physiological function
2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate cytidyltransferase (IspD) is an essential enzyme in the mevalonate-independent pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis. This enzyme catalyzes 2-C-methyl-derythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) and cytosine triphosphate (CTP) to 4-diphosphocytidyl-2-C-methyl-derythritol (CDPME) and diphosphate
