In enzymology a 4-(cytidine 5′-diphospho)-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol kinase (EC 2.7.1.148) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + 4-(cytidine 5′-diphospho)-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol ADP + 2-phospho-4-(cytidine 5′-diphospho)-2-C-methyl-D-erythritolThus the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and 4-(cytidine 5′-diphospho)-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol whereas its two products are ADP and 2-phospho-4-(cytidine 5′-diphospho)-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor.
