Scientific Background: BCKD is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the Atypical group and PDHK family. Its is associated with the mitochondrial matrix and features a HATPase_c domain. BCKD dimerizes through direct interaction of two opposing nucleotide-binding domains. It phosphorylates and inactivates the E1-alpha subunit of the branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKDK), which is involved in the catabolism of valine, leucine and isoleucine. Inactivating mutations in BCKD have been discovered in families with autism, epilepsy, and intellectual disability, a syndrome that may respond to dietary supplementation.
