description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring) kinase activity. Involved in regulation of acetyl-CoA biosynthetic process from pyruvate. Located in mitochondrion. Part of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; limb mesenchyme; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PDK1 (pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit normal skeletal development, are viable, and exhibit normal fertility. Mice lacking all 4 Pdk family members exhibit disrupted energy metabolic balance. [provided by MGI curators] |
