CDP-L-myo-inositol myo-inositolphosphotransferase explained

CDP-L-myo-inositol myo-inositolphosphotransferase
Ec Number:	2.7.8.34

CDP-L-myo-inositol myo-inositolphosphotransferase (CDP-inositol:inositol-1-phosphate transferase (bifunctional CTP:inositol-1-phosphate cytidylyltransferase/CDP-inositol:inositol-1-phosphate transferase (IPCT/DIPPS)), DIPPS (bifunctional CTP:inositol-1-phosphate cytidylyltransferase/CDP-inositol:inositol-1-phosphate transferase (IPCT/DIPPS))) is an enzyme with systematic name CDP-1L-myo-inositol:1L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate myo-inositolphosphotransferase.^[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

CDP-1L-myo-inositol + 1L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate

\rightleftharpoons CMP + bis(1L-myo-inositol) 3,1'-phosphate 1-phosphate

The enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of bis(1L-myo-inositol) 1,3-phosphate.
