Scientific Background: PDHK3 (PDK3) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the Atypical group and PDHK family. It phosphorylates and inactivates the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase. It is mostly expressed in the heart and skeletal muscles, and it regulates glucose metabolism and maintenance of glucose homeostasis under starvation. Inactivation of PDHK3 signalling drives melanomas towards oxidative metabolism and allows for the possibility of using pro-oxidants as therapies. PDHK3 has been shown to be overexpressed in colon cancer cell lines.
