High impact information on PDP2

  • Both isoenzymes are expressed in mitochondria from 3T3-L1 adipocytes, but the level of expression of PDP2 is considerably higher [1].
  • Both isoenzymes of phosphatase (PDP1 and PDP2) readily reactivate the complex phosphorylated by PDK2 [2].
 

Biological context of PDP2

  • However, the nature of the human mutation (loss of a single amino acid altering PDP1 activity) made it impossible to discern the role of the second phosphatase isoform, PDP2, in the deficient phenotype [3].
