Type: | Family | Name: | Lipopolysaccharide heptosyltransferase III, putative |
Description: | This family consists of examples of the putative ADP-heptose:LPS heptosyltransferase III, an enzyme of LPS inner core region biosynthesis. LPS, composed of lipid A, a core region, and O antigen, is found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. This enzyme may be less widely distributed than heptosyltransferases I and II. | Short Name: | LipoPS_heptosylTferase-III |
