In enzymology a lipoyl(octanoyl) transferase (EC 2.3.1.181) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionoctanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + protein protein N6-(octanoyl)lysine + acyl carrier proteinThus the two substrates of this enzyme are octanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] and protein whereas its two products are protein N6-(octanoyl)lysine and acyl carrier protein.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups.
