LIPT2, Official Symbol LIPT2provided by HGNC Official Full Name lipoyl(octanoyl) transferase 2provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:37216 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000175536 MIM:617659; AllianceGenome:HGNC:37216 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Summary This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein that catalyzes the transfer of octanoic acid to lipoate-dependent enzymes such as octanoyl-ACP. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
