Target Details for PDK4

Target: PDK4 (Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase, Isozyme 4 (PDK4))

Alternative Name: PDK4

Background:

Synonyms: [Pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] kinase isozyme 4, mitochondrial,2.7.11.2,Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isoform 4,PDK4,PDHK4,

Tissue Specificity: Ubiquitous, highest levels of expression in heart and skeletal muscle. .

Background: Pyruvate dehydrogenase lipoamide kinase isozyme 4, mitochondrial is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PDK4 gene. This gene is a member of the PDK/BCKDK protein kinase family and encodes a mitochondrial protein with a histidine kinase domain. This protein is located in the matrix of the mitrochondria and inhibits the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex by phosphorylating one of its subunits, thereby contributing to the regulation of glucose metabolism. Expression of this gene is regulated by glucocorticoids, retinoic acid and insulin. In addition, PDK4 is increased in hibernation and helps to decrease metabolism and conserve glucose by decreasing its conversion to acetyl-CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle and is converted to ATP.
