A multimer (24-mer) of this enzyme forms the core of the multienzyme 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate dehydrogenase complex, and binds tightly both EC 1.2.4.4, 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate dehydrogenase (2-methylpropanoyl-transferring) and EC 1.8.1.4, dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase. The lipoyl group of this enzyme is reductively 2-methylpropanoylated by EC 1.2.4.4, and the only observed direction catalysed by EC 2.3.1.168 is that where this 2-methylpropanoyl is passed to coenzyme A. In addition to the 2-methylpropanoyl group, formed when EC 1.2.4.4 acts on the oxoacid that corresponds with valine, this enzyme also transfers the 3-methylbutanoyl and S-2-methylbutanoyl groups, donated to it when EC 1.2.4.4 acts on the oxo acids corresponding with leucine and isoleucine.

limited proteolysis by trypsin results in the complete loss of the overall activity of the enzyme complex, but does not affect dihydrolipoyllysine-residue (2-methylpropanoyl)transferase activity; NEM and thiamine diphosphate have no effect
recombinant apo-E2 is unable to reconstitute with recombinant E1 and E3 to an active branched-chain alpha-keto dehydrogenase, but recombinant holo-E2 is able to
the 24-mer can be separated into active trimers of MW 84 kDa by incubation in 1.5 M guanidinium-HCl at 25°C, process is reversible, and removal of guanidinium-HCl leads to spontenaous reassembly to an active 24-mer
enzyme shows the E2 structure of 3 folded domains: lipoyl-bearing, E3-binding, and inner core, typical for all E2 protein of alpha-keto acid dehydrogenases
lipoate-free inner E2 core: 26 kDa fragment contains the active site, 22 kDa fragment B is the subunit-binding domain, fragments are gained by tryptic digest
