Description | Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) is a mitochondrial multienzyme complex that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and is one of the major enzymes responsible for the regulation of homeostasis of carbohydrate fuels in mammals. The enzymatic activity is regulated by a phosphorylation/dephosphorylation cycle. Phosphorylation of PDH by a specific pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) results in inactivation. (provided by RefSeq). Tissue specificity: Expressed predominantly in the heart. |

Function | Kinase that plays a key role in regulation of glucose and fatty acid metabolism and homeostasis via phosphorylation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase subunits PDHA1 and PDHA2 (PubMed:7499431, PubMed:18541534, PubMed:22195962, PubMed:26942675, PubMed:17683942). This inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase activity, and thereby regulates metabolite flux through the tricarboxylic acid cycle, down-regulates aerobic respiration and inhibits the formation of acetyl-coenzyme A from pyruvate (PubMed:18541534, PubMed:22195962, PubMed:26942675). Plays an important role in cellular responses to hypoxia and is important for cell proliferation under hypoxia (PubMed:18541534, PubMed:22195962, PubMed:26942675). |
Cellular Location | Mitochondrion matrix |
Tissue Location | Expressed predominantly in the heart. Detected at lower levels in liver, skeletal muscle and pancreas |
