CDP-archaeol synthase

CDP-archaeol synthase (EC 2.7.7.67, CDP-2,3-di-O-geranylgeranyl-sn-glycerol synthase, CTP:2,3-GG-GP ether cytidylyltransferase, CTP:2,3-di-O-geranylgeranyl-sn-glycero-1-phosphate cytidyltransferase) is an enzyme with systematic name CTP:2,3-bis-O-(geranylgeranyl)-sn-glycero-1-phosphate cytidylyltransferase.^[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

CTP + 2,3-bis-O-(geranylgeranyl)-sn-glycero-1-phosphate ${\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }$ diphosphate + CDP-2,3-bis-O-(geranylgeranyl)-sn-glycerol
