Reaction: ATP + [pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] = ADP + [pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] phosphate
Glossary: lipoyl group
Other name(s): PDH kinase; PDHK; PDK; PDK1; PDK2; PDK3; PDK4; pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase; pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (phosphorylating); pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase activator protein; STK1
Systematic name: ATP:[pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] phosphotransferase
Comments: The enzyme has no activating compound but is specific for its substrate. It is a mitochondrial enzyme associated with the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in mammals. Phosphorylation inactivates EC 1.2.4.1, pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring).
