The dihydrolipoyl acyl transferase (BCKAD-E2) ( gene name: DBT ) is an enzyme that occurs in all living things. It forms the E2 subunit of the branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase - enzyme complex , one essential step in the pathway of the branched chain amino acids valine , leucine and isoleucine catalyzed . This complex, located in the mitochondria of eukaryotes, contains 24 copies of BCKAD-E2 together with its cofactor lipoic acid . Mutations in the DBT gene can lead to a hereditary E2 enzyme deficiency, which is the cause of various types of the rare maple syrup disease .

BCKAD-E2 catalyzes the transfer of the acyl residue from the dihydrolipoyllysine amino acid residue belonging to the enzyme to a coenzyme A molecule. It thus functions analogously to dihydrolipoyl transacetylase in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH-E2) or to dihydrolipoyl transsuccinylase in the ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (KGDH-E2). 2-Methylpropanoyl, but also isobutyryl, isovaleryl and acetyl are accepted as acyl radicals.
