Background
Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isoform4 (PDK4) is also named as PDHK4 and belongs to the PDK/BCKDK protein kinase family. It is upregulated by starvation in many tissues of the body during starvation. This causes inactivation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex which blocks pyruvate oxidation and conserves lactate and alanine for gluconeogenesis.
Other name
[Pyruvate dehydrogenase [lipoamide]] kinase isozyme 4, mitochondrial (EC 2.7.11.2) (Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isoform 4)
