Cytidine-5'-diphosphate disodium salt is a nucleoside diphosphate that acts as a carrier for phosphorylcholine, diacylglycerol, and other molecules during phospholipid synthesis.
Cytidine-5'-diphosphate disodium salt is a nucleotide that is synthesized in the cytosol.
Cytidine 5'-diphosphate disodium salt (CDP-Na2) prevents the action of aspartate carbamoyltransferase. This enzyme participates in pyrimidine biosynthesis. Like adenosine triphosphate (ATP), CTP serves as a molecule of high energy. It acts as a coenzyme in glycerophospholipid biosynthesis and protein glycosylation.
