'''Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase''' (PDK) is part of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.  This complex is located in the mitochondria and converts pyruvate to acetyl-CoA as part of the citric acid cycle.  PDK phosphphorylates serine residues on pyruvate dehydrogenase using ATP.  There are 4 isozymes of PDK.  The isozymes differ in length, activity and phosphorylation sites<ref>PMID:11486000</ref>.  PDK1 is abundant in heart cells.  PDK2 is abundant in mitochondria.  PDK3 is abundant in testis.  PDK4 is abundant in muscle and heart.
