Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name Lipid A biosynthesis myristoyltransferase 2
Synonyms
  1. Kdo(2)-lauroyl-lipid IV(A) myristoyltransferase 2
Gene Name LPXM2
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Catalyzes the transfer of myristate from myristoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) to Kdo(2)-(lauroyl)-lipid IV(A) to form Kdo(2)-lipid A. Can probably also catalyze the transfer of myristate to Kdo(2)-(palmitoleoyl)-lipid IV(A) to form the cold-adapted Kdo(2)-lipid A.
Pathways
  • KDO(2)-lipid A biosynthesis
