Other Names | [Pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] kinase isozyme 3, mitochondrial, Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isoform 3, PDK3, PDHK3 |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP7040a was selected from the N-term region of human PDK3 . A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | PDK3 |
---|---|
Synonyms | PDHK3 |
Function | Inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase activity by phosphorylation of the E1 subunit PDHA1, and thereby regulates glucose metabolism and aerobic respiration. Can also phosphorylate PDHA2. Decreases glucose utilization and increases fat metabolism in response to prolonged fasting, and as adaptation to a high-fat diet. Plays a role in glucose homeostasis and in maintaining normal blood glucose levels in function of nutrient levels and under starvation. Plays a role in the generation of reactive oxygen species. |
Cellular Location | Mitochondrion matrix. |
Tissue Location | Expressed in heart, skeletal muscle, spinal cord, as well as fetal and adult brain. |
