gene: pdp-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable [pyruvate dehydrogenase (lipoamide)] phosphatase activity. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Expressed in head muscle; head neurons; intestine; and tail neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity and pyruvate decarboxylase deficiency. Is an ortholog of human PDP1 (pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase catalytic subunit 1) and PDP2 (pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase catalytic subunit 2).
