Pdk3 - pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, isoenzyme 3 Gene

Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; protein serine/threonine kinase activity; and pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring) kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha signaling pathway; peroxisome proliferator activated receptor signaling pathway; and regulation of acetyl-CoA biosynthetic process from pyruvate. Predicted to act upstream of or within glucose metabolic process and phosphorylation. 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).
