Comments

Comment type	Description
Catalytic Activity	CTP + ethanolamine phosphate = diphosphate + CDP-ethanolamine.
Function	Ethanolamine-phosphate cytidylyltransferase which catalyzes the second step of phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis. Involved in the maintenance of plasma membrane and required for proper sporulation. {ECO:0000269\|PubMed:17761681, ECO:0000269\|PubMed:18776695}.
Induction	By isooctane. {ECO:0000269\|PubMed:11055939}.
Miscellaneous	Present with 4700 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269\|PubMed:14562106}.
Pathway	Phospholipid metabolism; phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis; phosphatidylethanolamine from ethanolamine: step 2/3.
Similarity	Belongs to the cytidylyltransferase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular Location	Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269\|PubMed:14562095}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269\|PubMed:14562095}.
