Cytidine Diphosphate Diacylglycerol

Serves as an activated intermediate in the biosynthesis of several phosphoglycerides, particularly in the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol and cardiolipin.

Key Functions:

• Key intermediate in the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol.
• Essential for cardiolipin biosynthesis.
• Regulates the synthesis of other phospholipids.

Interacting Systems & Components:

• Phosphatidic Acid (precursor)
• Phosphatidylinositol (synthesized from)
• Cardiolipin (synthesized from)
• Phospholipid Synthesis (central intermediate)
