GENE AND PROTEIN SUMMARY

? »

Gene name

PDK2

Description

pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, isozyme 2

Protein class

Enzymes, Kinases, Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes a member of the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase family. The encoded protein phosphorylates pyruvate dehydrogenase, down-regulating the activity of the mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Overexpression of this gene may play a role in both cancer and diabetes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
