pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase catalytic subunit 1; [pyruvate dehydrogenase [acetyl-transferring]]-phosphatase 1, mitochondrial; PDP 1; PDPC 1 (PDP1, PPM2C)

Function
- catalyzes dephosphorylation & concomitant reactivation of pyruvate dehydrogenase E1-alpha (putative)
- component of pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase, heterodimer of an enzyme catalytic subunit (PDP1) & an enzyme regulatory subunit (PDPR)
[pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)]phosphate + H2O = [pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] + phosphate
Cofactor: binds 2 Mg+2 per subunit (putative)
Structure
belongs to the PP2C family
Compartment
mitochondrial matrix (putative)
Pathology
- defects in PDP1 are the cause of pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase deficiency
