What Does CDP Stand For?
CDP stands for Cytidine 5 Diphosphate
Cytidine 5 Diphosphate (CDP) is a nucleotide involved in various biochemical processes, particularly as a precursor in the synthesis of nucleic acids and as a critical component in cellular signaling pathways. It serves as an energy source and plays a vital role in the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids, especially in the formation of CDP-choline and CDP-diacylglycerol, which are important for membrane biosynthesis. CDP is essential for the proper functioning of cellular processes and is pivotal in the regulation of nucleotide metabolism.
