PDHK2 or Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase 2 is a member of the PDHK family that phosphorylate and inactivate the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase (PDH). PDH is a mitochondrial multienzyme complex that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and is one of the major enzymes responsible for the regulation of homeostasis of carbohydrate fuels in mammals. PDHK2 is a primary PPARbeta/delta target gene in humans which underlines the importance of PPAR in the control of metabolism. There are two candidate PPAR response elements in the PDHK2 gene.

The nuclear receptors peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are known for their critical role in the metabolic syndrome. Here, we show that they are direct regulators of the family of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) genes, whose products act as metabolic homeostats

Recent evidence from this laboratory indicates that at least two isoenzymic forms of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK1 and PDK2) may be involved in the regulation of enzymatic activity of mammalian pyruvate dehydrogenase complex by phosphorylation (Popov, K.M., Kedishvili, N.Y., Zhao
