Sugar octanoyltransferase likely involved in the biosynthesis of mycobacterial methylglucose lipopolysaccharide (MGLP). Catalyzes the transfer of an octanoyl group from octanoyl-CoA to the C6 OH of the second glucose in diglucosylglycerate (DGG). DGG is the preferred acceptor, but to a lesser extent, GG (glucosylglycerate) can also be used as substrate. DGG and GG are the two earliest intermediates in MGLP biosynthesis.

Belongs to the OctT acyltransferase family.
