The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of CTP, cytidine 5'-triphosphate. The chemical reactions and pathways involving CTP, cytidine triphosphate. The pathway by which pyrimidine bases or pyrimidine ribonucleosides from pyrimidine nucleotide breakdown are converted back to pyrimidine ribonucleotides. The salvage pathway is important where there is no de novo pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis. Any process which produces a pyrimidine nucleotide from derivatives of it, without de novo synthesis. Any process which produces cytidine 5'-triphosphate (CTP) from derivatives of it, without de novo synthesis. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a pyrimidine ribonucleotide, a compound consisting of nucleoside (a pyrimidine base linked to a ribose sugar) esterified with a phosphate moiety at either the 3' or 5'-hydroxyl group of its glycose moiety. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of pyrimidine ribonucleoside triphosphate, a glycosamine consisting of a pyrimidine base linked to a ribose sugar esterified with triphosphate on its glycose moiety.
