  • p300/CBP may enhance acetylation of histones bound to the promoter and cooperate with Sp1 and CBF (CCAAT box binding factor) to stimulate transcription of the PDK4 gene in response to retinoic acids (RA) as well as Trichostatin A (TSA)

    basic FUNCTION
  • pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4, regulating mitochondrial PDH activity
  • with PDK3 and PDK2 are primary PPARbeta/delta target genes underlining the importance of the receptor in the control of metabolism (Degenhardt 2007)
  • regulation of glycolysis by PDK2, PDK4 functions as a metabolic checkpoint for cell cycle quiescence in hematopoietic stem cells

    INTERACTION

    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with FOXO1 to regulate energetic metabolism
  • ZBTB2 may increase cell proliferation by reprogramming glucose metabolic pathways to favor glycolysis by upregulating PDK4 expression via repression of RELA/p65 expression
  • PDK2 and PDK4, key regulatory enzymes in glucose metabolism, mediate glycolytic metabolic shift in the DRG leading to painful diabetic neuropathy

    REGULATION
    induced by CEBPB (induced PDK4 gene expression and decreased PDC activity)
