PDPR

Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and links glycolysis to the tricarboxylic acid cycle and fatty acid synthesis. The dephosphorylation and reactivation of PDC is catalyzed by pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase (PDP). The dimeric PDP has a catalytic subunit and a regulatory subunit. This gene encodes the FAD-containing regulatory subunit of PDP. The encoded protein acts to decrease the sensitivity of the PDP catalytic subunit to magnesium ions. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2017]

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 human PDPR often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
