1L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate cytidylyltransferase |
| Example Structure |
 |
| Synonyms |
CDP-inositol:inositol-1-phosphate transferase, CTP:inositol-1-phosphate cytidylyltransferase, ICPT, IPCT, Tmari_1425 |
| EC Number |
2.7.7.74 |

| Comments |
In many organisms this activity is catalysed by a bifunctional enzyme. The cytidylyltransferase domain of the bifunctional EC 2.7.7.74/EC 2.7.8.34 (CTP:inositol-1-phosphate cytidylyltransferase/CDP-inositol:inositol-1-phosphate transferase) is absolutely specific for CTP and 1L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate. The enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of bis(1L-myo-inositol) 1,3′-phosphate, a widespread organic solute in microorganisms adapted to hot environments.
