Definition
4-diphosphocytidyl-2-c-methyl-d-erythritol is a member of the class of compounds known as pyrimidine ribonucleoside diphosphates. Pyrimidine ribonucleoside diphosphates are pyrimidine ribonucleotides with diphosphate group linked to the ribose moiety. 4-diphosphocytidyl-2-c-methyl-d-erythritol is soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). 4-diphosphocytidyl-2-c-methyl-d-erythritol can be found in a number of food items such as pepper (c. chinense), pistachio, chestnut, and lupine, which makes 4-diphosphocytidyl-2-c-methyl-d-erythritol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 4-diphosphocytidyl-2-c-methyl-d-erythritol may be a unique E.coli metabolite.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrimidine ribonucleoside diphosphates. These are pyrimidine ribonucleotides with diphosphate group linked to the ribose moiety.
