Summary
PDXK (pyridoxal kinase, HGNC:8819) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 21q22.3, encoding Pyridoxal kinase (O00764). Catalyzes the phosphorylation of the dietary vitamin B6 vitamers pyridoxal (PL), pyridoxine (PN) and pyridoxamine (PM) to form pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP), pyridoxine 5’-phosphate (PNP) and pyridoxamine 5’-phosphate (PMP), respectively.
The protein encoded by this gene phosphorylates vitamin B6, a step required for the conversion of vitamin B6 to pyridoxal-5-phosphate, an important cofactor in intermediary metabolism. The encoded protein is cytoplasmic and probably acts as a homodimer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined.

Function. Catalyzes the phosphorylation of the dietary vitamin B6 vitamers pyridoxal (PL), pyridoxine (PN) and pyridoxamine (PM) to form pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP), pyridoxine 5’-phosphate (PNP) and pyridoxamine 5’-phosphate (PMP), respectively. PLP is the active form of vitamin B6, and acts as a cofactor for over 140 different enzymatic reactions.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytosol.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in testis. In adult testis and spermatozoa.
Disease relevance. Neuropathy, hereditary motor and sensory, 6C, with optic atrophy (HMSN6C) [MIM:618511] An autosomal recessive neurologic disorder characterized by childhood onset of axonal, sensorimotor polyneuropathy affecting mainly the lower limbs, and adult-onset optic atrophy. Clinical features include progressive distal muscle weakness and atrophy, significant standing and walking difficulties, areflexia, neurogenic pain and progressive visual impairment. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Catalytic activity is inhibited competitively by 4-deoxypyridoxine, and is also inhibited by the benzodiazepine receptor ligands 1012S and ethyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylate. Inhibited by ginkgotoxin, theophylline, lamotrigine, enprofylline, theobromine, and caffeine. Activity is increased in the presence of K(+)or Na(+).
Cofactor. Zn(2+) is the most effective divalent metal cation in vitro, followed by Co(2+), Mn(2+) and Mg(2+).
Induction. Transcriptionally regulated by Sp1 transcription factor.
Pathway. Cofactor metabolism; pyridoxal 5’-phosphate salvage; pyridoxal 5’-phosphate from pyridoxal: step 1/1. Cofactor metabolism; pyridoxal 5’-phosphate salvage; pyridoxine 5’-phosphate from pyridoxine: step 1/1. Cofactor metabolism; pyridoxal 5’-phosphate salvage; pyridoxamine 5’-phosphate from pyridoxamine: step 1/1.
Similarity. Belongs to the pyridoxine kinase family.
