As the mouse ortholog of human PDK4, Pdk4 encodes the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isoform whose control is overwhelmingly transcriptional, induced by fasting, glucocorticoids, PPAR alpha and PPAR delta, FOXO1 and estrogen-related receptors, and repressed by insulin, so its abundance tracks nutrient state rather than acute allosteric input. By phosphorylating E1 alpha during starvation, high fat feeding or diabetes, it conserves pyruvate and lactate for gluconeogenesis while forcing muscle and heart onto fatty acid oxidation, and sustained induction contributes to the metabolic inflexibility seen in insulin resistance and heart failure. That regulatory logic favors a floxed conditional null with muscle, cardiac or hepatic Cre drivers to localize where induction drives glucose oxidation suppression, and a humanized allele where inhibitor pharmacology is the goal. Overlap with Pdk1, Pdk2 and Pdk3 is genuine, so compound conditionals prevent misreading a buffered phenotype. Align the allele with clamp studies, substrate tracing or cardiac efficiency endpoints.
ingenious targeting laboratory offers 2 distinct Pdk4 (PDK4) catalog mouse models, featuring conditional knockout and standard knockout. Researchers can order pre-developed catalog lines or request a custom mouse model, including humanized, knockin, and transgenic variations with verified germline transmission.

Order catalog modelA Pdk4 knockout mouse has the Pdk4 gene permanently inactivated, enabling loss of function studies. A Pdk4 conditional knockout (floxed) mouse carries loxP sites flanking a critical exon of Pdk4, allowing Cre recombinase dependent deletion in specific tissues or at specific timepoints.
