A CDP-diglyceride is produced, and inorganic pyrophosphate is released ([77b]). CDP-diglyceride is the common precursor of a variety of phospholipids. In subsequent reactions, each catalyzed by a specific enzyme, CMP is displaced from CDP-diglyceride by one of three compounds—serine, inositol, or glycerol 1-phosphate—to form CMP and,…
