Alternative Products Event=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=3; Name=1; IsoId=O14874-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; IsoId=O14874-2; Sequence=VSP_054604, VSP_054605; Note=No experimental confirmation available.; Name=3; IsoId=O14874-3; Sequence=VSP_054605; Note=No experimental confirmation available.;
Catalytic Activity ATP + [3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] = ADP + [3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] phosphate.
Disease Branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase kinase deficiency (BCKDKD) [MIM:614923]: A metabolic disorder characterized by autism, epilepsy, intellectual disability, and reduced branched- chain amino acids. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22956686}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. A diet enriched in branched amino acids (BCAAs) allows to normalize plasma BCAA levels. This suggests that it may be possible to treat patients with mutations in BCKDK with BCAA supplementation.
Function Catalyzes the phosphorylation and inactivation of the branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex, the key regulatory enzyme of the valine, leucine and isoleucine catabolic pathways. Key enzyme that regulate the activity state of the BCKD complex (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Ptm Autophosphorylated. {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity Belongs to the PDK/BCKDK protein kinase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity Contains 1 histidine kinase domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00107}.
Subcellular Location Mitochondrion matrix.
Subunit Monomer. {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue Specificity Ubiquitous.
