 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

[edit]Cytidine diphosphate, abbreviated CDP, is a nucleoside diphosphate. It is an ester of pyrophosphoric acid with the nucleoside cytidine. CDP consists of the pyrophosphate group, the pentose sugar ribose, and the nucleobase cytosine.
In Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus, CDP-activated glycerol and ribitol are necessary to build wall teichoic acid.[1]
In Rhodothermus marinus, CDP-activated inositol is necessary to form the phospholipid dialkylether glycerophosphoinositide, which contains inositol phosphate and ether-linked alkyl chains.[2]
CDP is commonly formed in the reaction Dolichol + Cytidine Triphosphate (CTP) ⟶ Dolichol-phosphate + CDP, which is prevalent in many biochemical pathways.[3]
