Protein
Putative lipoyltransferase 2, mitochondrial
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
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 (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the LipB family.
