malfunction | pyruvate dehydrogenase activity is 2.5fold higher at rest in PDK4 knockout mouse muscle compared to the wild-type, and about 2fold in activated muscle at low and high intensity contraction | Mus musculus |
physiological function | pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 is one of four PDH kinases regulating the function of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, PDH. PDK4 is responsible for reducing PDH activity during low- to moderate-intensity muscle stimulation for contraction of the extensor digitorum muscle | Mus musculus |
