| Description | PDHK3 or Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase 3 is a member of the PDHK family that phosphorylate and inactivate the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase (PDH) . PDH is a mitochondrial multienzyme complex that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and is one of the major enzymes responsible for the regulation of homeostasis of carbohydrate fuels in mammals. HIF-1 induces PDHK3 expression leading to inhibition of mitochondrial respiration . Forced expression of PDHK3 in cancer cells results in increased lactic acid accumulation and drugs resistance, whereas knocking down PDHK3 inhibits hypoxia-induced cytoplasmic glycolysis and cell survival. |
