Chromosome | X | NCBI Gene Number | 236900 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ATP binding activity and pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring) kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including intracellular signal transduction; peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; and regulation of small molecule metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease X-linked dominant 6. Orthologous to human PDK3 (pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice lacking all 4 Pdk family members exhibit disrupted energy metabolic balance. [provided by MGI curators] |
