basic FUNCTION
  • mitochondrial matrix multienzyme complex that provides the primary link between glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle by catalyzing the irreversible conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA
  • serves as a gate-keeper enzyme link between glycolysis and the mitochondrial citric acid cycle
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism carbohydrate
    signaling
    a component
  • E1 alpha polypeptide of the complex forming an heterotetramer alpha2/beta2 bound to two TPP (thiamine-pyrophosphate) one each bridging E1 alpha and E1 beta to form an active site catalyzing the irreversible decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA
