Guanosine diphosphate mannose

Guanosine diphosphate mannose or GDP-mannose is a nucleotide sugar that is a substrate for glycosyltransferase reactions in metabolism. This compound is a substrate for enzymes called mannosyltransferases.

Known as donor of activated mannose in all glycolytic reactions, GDP-mannose is essential in eukaryotes.[1]

Biosynthesis

GDP-mannose is produced from GTP and mannose-6-phosphate by the enzyme mannose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase.[2]

One of the enzymes from the family of nucleootidyl-transferases, GDP-Mannose Pyrophosphorylase (GDP-MP) is an pervasive enzyme found in bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals.[3]

gollark: I think Chorus City's uses my algorithm™ and updates really fast.
gollark: SADNESS!
gollark: ~~just run `switchcraft.tps()` in a loop with `os.queueEvent"" os.pullEvent ""`~~
gollark: Don't?
gollark: The easiest way to measure TPS is just to run horribly intensive tasks on the Potatodatacentre so that it's stuck at 1 or so.
