Protein
Probable octanoyltransferase 2
Organism
Picrophilus torridus (strain ATCC 700027 / DSM 9790 / JCM 10055 / NBRC 100828)
Function
Catalyzes the transfer of endogenously produced octanoic acid from octanoyl-acyl-carrier-protein onto the lipoyl domains of lipoate-dependent enzymes. Lipoyl-ACP can also act as a substrate although octanoyl-ACP is likely to be the physiological substrate.
Similarity
Belongs to the LipB family.
