This gene is a mitochondrial protein that functions as a phosphatase and is involved in the enzymatic resetting of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016],catalytic activity:[Pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] phosphate + H(2)O = [pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] + phosphate.,cofactor:Binds 2 magnesium ions per subunit.,function:Catalyzes the dephosphorylation and concomitant reactivation of the alpha subunit of the E1 component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.,similarity:Belongs to the PP2C family.,subunit:Heterodimer of a catalytic subunit and a FAD protein of unknown function.,
