Pdhb Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring) activity. Predicted to contribute to pyruvate dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity. Predicted to be involved in pyruvate decarboxylation to acetyl-CoA. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; heart; integumental system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pyruvate decarboxylase deficiency. Orthologous to human PDHB (pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 subunit beta).

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 Pdhb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Transketolase, pyrimidine binding domain
  • enzyme
  • protein binding
  • pyruvate dehydrogenase (lipoamide)
  • Transketolase, C-terminal domain
  • thiamine pyrophosphate-dependent enzyme pyrimidine binding domain
  • aldehyde or oxo group:NAD or NADP oxidoreductase
  • pyruvate dehydrogenase
