Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis, which is converted into acetyl coA that enters the Krebs cycle when there is sufficient oxygen available. When the oxygen is insufficient, is broken down anaerobically, creating lactate in animals (including humans) and ethanol in plants.
Their are five separate reactions catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, (see fig 3) with the overall reaction: Pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1) is responsible for the first two reactions. First it decarboxylates pyruvate with the help of the coenzyme TPP to form hydroxyethyl-TPP.Secondly, the hydroxyethyl group is transferred to dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E2) through the use of lipoic acid bound to a modified lysine residue.yruvate dehydrogenase (E1) is responsible for the first two reactions.
