C55-isoprenyl pyrophosphate (undecaprenyl pyrophosphate) is an essential molecule involved in construction of the bacterial peptidoglycan cell wall.^[1] It is a receptor found in the plasma membrane of bacteria that allows glycan tetrapeptide monomers synthesized in the cell cytoplasm to translocate to the periplasmic space.
