Dlat Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables acetyltransferase activity. Involved in pyruvate catabolic process and pyruvate decarboxylation to acetyl-CoA. Located in mitochondrion and myelin sheath. Is active in mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pyruvate decarboxylase deficiency. Orthologous to human DLAT (dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase). [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 mouse Dlat often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
