Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Transketolase-like, pyrimidine-binding domain; Transketolase, pyrimidine binding domain; and Thiamin diphosphate-binding fold. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
bckd-1B. In C. elegans,
bckd-1B is involved in positive regulation of fatty acid biosynthetic process and positive regulation of nematode larval development.
