DESCRIPTION

Also known as ISPD_HUMAN, CRPPA, ISPD. Cytidylyltransferase required for protein O-linked mannosylation (PubMed:22522420, PubMed:27130732, PubMed:27601598, PubMed:26687144, PubMed:22522421, PubMed:26923585). Catalyzes the formation of CDP-ribitol nucleotide sugar from D-ribitol 5-phosphate (PubMed:27130732, PubMed:26687144, PubMed:26923585). CDP-ribitol is a substrate of FKTN during the biosynthesis of the phosphorylated O-mannosyl trisaccharide (N-acetylgalactosamine-beta-3-N-acetylglucosamine-beta-4-(phosphate-6-)mannose), a carbohydrate structure present in alpha-dystroglycan (DAG1), which is required for binding laminin G-like domain-containing extracellular proteins with high affinity (PubMed:27130732, PubMed:26687144, PubMed:26923585). Shows activity toward other pentose phosphate sugars and mediates formation of CDP-ribulose or CDP-ribose using CTP and ribulose-5-phosphate or ribose-5-phosphate, respectively (PubMed:26687144). Not Involved in dolichol production (PubMed:26687144). Homodimer.
