Phosphatidate cytidylyltransferase 1 (CDS1)

Gives CDP-diacylglycerol, an important precursor for the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns), phosphatidylglycerol, and cardiolipin. Overexpression may amplify cellular signaling responses from cytokines.

May also play an essential role in the signal transduction mechanism of retina and neural cells. .
