| Description | Catabolism and synthesis of leucine, isoleucine and valine are finely balanced, allowing the body to make the most of dietary input but removing excesses to prevent toxic build-up of their corresponding keto-acids. Regulating the activity of the branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCDH) complex is the primary means by which these processes are coordinated. BCDH kinase regulates BCDH by phosphorylation, thereby inactivating it when synthesis is required. | Name | Branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase kinase/Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, N-terminal |
| Short Name | BCDHK/PDK_N | Type | Domain |
