Biochemical characterization of cardiotin, a sarcoplasmic reticulum associated protein.

abstract：:Lipoic acid is a coenzyme essential to the activity of enzymes such as pyruvate dehydrogenase, which play important roles in central metabolism. However, neither the enzymes responsible for biosynthesis nor the biosynthetic event of lipoic acid has been reported in mammalian cells. In this study, a mouse mLIP1 cDNA fo...
