Description
Catalyzes the formation of CDP-2,3-bis-(O-geranylgeranyl)-sn-glycerol (CDP-archaeol) from 2,3-bis-(O-geranylgeranyl)-sn-glycerol 1-phosphate (DGGGP) and CTP. This reaction is the third ether-bond-formation step in the biosynthesis of archaeal membrane lipids.
Family
Belongs to the CDP-archaeol synthase family.
