Glucose-1-phosphate cytidylyltransferase

In enzymology, a glucose-1-phosphate cytidylyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.33) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are CTP and alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate, whereas its two products are diphosphate and CDP-glucose.

[1][2] This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing nucleotide groups (nucleotidyltransferases).

The systematic name of this enzyme class is CTP:alpha-D-glucose-1-phosphate cytidylyltransferase.

[3] As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1TZF and 1WVC.
