CTP synthase 1

CTP synthase 1 is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in human s is encoded by the CTPS is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The catalytic conversion of is_associated_with::uridine triphosphate (UTP) to is_associated_with::cytidine triphosphate (CTP) is accomplished by the enzyme cytidine-5-prime-triphosphate synthetase. This enzyme is important in the biosynthesis of is_associated_with::phospholipids and is_associated_with::nucleic acids, and plays a key role in cell growth, development, and tumorigenesis.
