UniProtKB accession:  B1VN93

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in the biosynthesis of A factor (2-isocapryloyl-3R-hydroxymethyl-gamma-butyrolactone), a gamma-butyrolactone autoregulator that triggers secondary metabolism and morphogenesis in Streptomyces (PubMed:17277085). Catalyzes beta-ketoacyl transfer from 8-methyl-3-oxononanoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) to the hydroxyl group of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), thus producing an 8-methyl-3-oxononanoyl-DHAP ester (PubMed:17277085).
