Protein
Glycerol-3-phosphate cytidylyltransferase
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Function
Catalyzes the transfer of the cytidylyl group of CTP to sn-glycerol 3-phosphate so the activated glycerol 3-phosphate can be used for teichoic acid synthesis, via incorporation into both the linkage unit and the teichoic acid polymer by TagB and TagF.
Similarity
Belongs to the cytidylyltransferase family.
