Pdhb - pyruvate dehydrogenase (lipoamide) beta

Predicted to enable pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring) activity. Predicted to contribute to pyruvate dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity. Predicted to be involved in acetyl-CoA biosynthetic process from pyruvate. Predicted to act upstream of or within mitochondrial acetyl-CoA biosynthetic process from pyruvate. 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
