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]
