Description Imported from IPR039901
The proteins in this family are found mainly in bacteria and plants. In bacteria, 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (Kdo) transferase is involved in lipopolysaccharide synthesis; it catalyses the transfer of two Kdo residues from CMP-Kdo to lipid IV(A), the precursor of lipid A
[3, 2]. In plants it is though to be involved in the synthesis of a mitochondrial lipid A-like molecule
[1].
