[Pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] kinase isozyme 1, mitochondrial

UniProt Q15118 Organism Homo sapiens Gene PDHK1, PDK1 EC 2.7.11.2

Also known as: PDHK1, PDK1

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. 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. Plays an important role in cellular responses to hypoxia and is important for cell proliferation under hypoxia.
