Pdk3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ATP binding activity and pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring) kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including intracellular signal transduction; peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; and regulation of small molecule metabolic process. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion and nucleolus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease X-linked dominant 6. Orthologous to human PDK3 (pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Pdk3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
