Lipoyl amidotransferase LIPT1, mitochondrial

UniProtKB accession:  O46419

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Lipoyl amidotransferase that catalyzes the transfer of lipoyl moieties from lipoyl-protein H of the glycine cleavage system (lipoyl-GCSH) to E2 subunits of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDCE2). Unable to catalyze the transfer of octanoyl from octanoyl-GCSH to PDCE2 (By similarity). In vitro, it is also able to catalyze the transfer of the lipoyl group from lipoyl-AMP to the specific lysine residue of lipoyl domains of lipoate-dependent enzymes but this reaction may not be physiologically relevant (Probable) (PubMed:8206978).
