Cytidine 5'-triphosphate (Cytidine triphosphate, 5-CTP) is a nucleoside triphosphate and serves as a building block for nucleotides and nucleic acids, lipid biosynthesis. Cytidine triphosphate synthase can catalyze the formation of cytidine 5'-triphosphate from uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP). Cytidine 5'-triphosphate is an essential biomolecule in the de novo pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway in T. gondii[1].
