Gene name

luxD

FUNCTION: Acyl transferase is part of the fatty acid reductase system required for aldehyde biosynthesis; it produces fatty acids for the luminescent reaction (By similarity).

PATHWAY: Lipid metabolism; fatty acid reduction for biolumincescence.

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the luxD family.
