IUBMB Comments

The enzyme from Escherichia coli requires Mg2+ or Mn2+. ATP or UTP can replace CTP, but both are less effective. GTP and TTP are not substrates. Forms part of an alternative nonmevalonate pathway for terpenoid biosynthesis (for diagram, click here).

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Eukaryota, Archaea
