Molybdenum cofactor cytidylyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.76, MocA, CTP:molybdopterin cytidylyltransferase, MoCo cytidylyltransferase, Mo-MPT cytidyltransferase) is an enzyme with systematic name CTP:molybdenum cofactor cytidylyltransferase.^[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction:

CTP + molybdenum cofactor ${\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }$ diphosphate + cytidylyl molybdenum cofactor

Catalyses the cytidylation of the molybdenum cofactor.
