Cytidine triphosphate is a pyrimidine nucleotide.
CTP is a substrate in the synthesis of RNA.
CTP is a high energy molecule equal to ATP, but its role in the organism is more specific than that of ATP. CTP is used as the source of energy, a carrier or an activator in metabolic reactions like synthesis of glycerophospholipids and glycosylation of proteins.
