Description | LpxP catalyses the transfer of palmitoleate from palmitoleoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) to Kdo(2)-lipid IV(A) to form Kdo(2)-(palmitoleoyl)-lipid IV(A) [ ]. It is required for the biosynthesis of a distinct molecular species of lipid A, which is present only in cells grown at low temperatures []. | Name | Lipid A biosynthesis palmitoleoyltransferase, LpxP |
Short Name | Lipid_A_LpxP | Type | Family |
