dbt-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable acetyltransferase activity and lipoic acid binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of fatty acid biosynthetic process and positive regulation of multicellular organismal process. Located in cilium; cytosol; and neuron projection. Expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; head neurons; hypodermis; and intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in maple syrup urine disease. Is an ortholog of human DBT (dihydrolipoamide branched chain transacylase E2).
