GlycoFlux™ Human PDK4 Overexpression HepG2 Cell Line (CAT#: GLJF-0925-JF659)

Description	GlycoFlux™ human PDK4 overexpression HepG2 cell line is a stable cell line designed to produce pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4), a mitochondrial matrix protein of the PDK/BCKDK family that inhibits the PDH complex by phosphorylation. Its expression is tightly regulated by hormones including glucocorticoids, retinoic acid, and insulin. PDK4 activity links nutrient availability with metabolic flexibility. This model provides a tool for studying diabetes, fasting adaptation, and mitochondrial energy control.
