C55-isoprenyl pyrophosphate (undecaprenyl pyrophosphate), also known as bactoprenol, is an essential molecule involved in construction of the bacterial peptidoglycan cell wall. 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.
