Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.1.0)
Enables acetyltransferase activity. Involved in pyruvate catabolic process and pyruvate decarboxylation to acetyl-CoA. Located in mitochondrion and myelin sheath. Is active in mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pyruvate decarboxylase deficiency. Orthologous to human DLAT (dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase).
