4-Diphosphocytidyl-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2-phosphate

4-Diphosphocytidyl-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2-phosphate (or 4-diphosphocytidyl-2C methylerythritol 2-phosphate) is an intermediate in the non-mevalonate pathway

Non-mevalonate pathway

The non-mevalonate pathway or 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate/1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis is an alternative metabolic pathway leading to the formation of isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate that has been elucidated only...
