Term Name:	pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring) activity
Synonyms:	MtPDC (mitochondrial pyruvate dehydogenase complex) activity, PDH, pyruvate dehydrogenase (lipoamide) activity, pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activity, pyruvate:dihydrolipoyllysine-residue acetyltransferase-lipoyllysine 2-oxidoreductase (decarboxylating, acceptor-acetylating), pyruvate:lipoamide 2-oxidoreductase (decarboxylating and acceptor-acetylating) activity
Definition:	Catalysis of the reaction: N(6)-[(R)-lipoyl]-L-lysyl-[protein] + pyruvate + H+ = N(6)-[(R)-S(8)-acetyldihydrolipoyl]-L-lysyl-[protein] + CO2.
