DESCRIPTION

Also known as ODP2_HUMAN, DLAT, DLTA. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the overall conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and CO(2), and thereby links the glycolytic pathway to the tricarboxylic cycle. Part of the multimeric pyruvate dehydrogenase complex that contains multiple copies of pyruvate dehydrogenase (subunits PDH1A and PDHB, E1), dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (DLAT, E2) and lipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD, E3) (PubMed:14638692). These subunits are bound to an inner core composed of about 48 DLAT and 12 PDHX molecules (PubMed:14638692, PubMed:20361979). Interacts with PDK2 and PDK3 (PubMed:15861126, PubMed:17532006, PubMed:17683942, PubMed:18387944). Interacts with SIRT4 (PubMed:25525879). Interacts with PDHB (PubMed:20160912).
