Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name Lipoteichoic acid synthase
Synonyms Not Available
Gene Name LTAS
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Catalyzes the polymerization of lipoteichoic acid (LTA) polyglycerol phosphate, a reaction that presumably uses phosphatidylglycerol (PG) as substrate. Is required for staphylococcal growth and cell division process (By similarity).
