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).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
