Protein
Glucose-1-phosphate cytidylyltransferase
Organism
Salmonella typhimurium (strain LT2 / SGSC1412 / ATCC 700720)
Function
Involved in the biosynthesis of the tyvelose, a 3,6-dideoxyhexose found in the O-antigen of the surface lipopolysaccharides. It catalyzes the transfer of a CMP moiety from CTP to glucose 1-phosphate (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the glucose-1-phosphate cytidylyltransferase family.
