The enzyme transfers a lipoyl moiety to the E2 subunit during oxidative decarboxylation.

The lipoylated enzyme displayed enhanced catalytic activity in the mitochondrial complex.

Researchers investigated how lipoylation affects the activity of mitochondrial enzyme complexes.

Researchers identified unexpected lipoylations on several mitochondrial proteins during oxidative stress experiments.

The lipoyltransferase catalyzes the attachment of lipoic acid to the E2 subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.

Recent studies revealed that lipoyltransferases play a critical role in mitochondrial metabolism by attaching lipoic acid to key enzyme complexes.
