positive regulation of pyruvate decarboxylation to acetyl-CoA

Term ID

GO:0140176

Synonyms

Definition

Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of acetyl-CoA from pyruvate. In most organisms, this pathway links glycolysis to the TCA cycle, by a series of three reactions carried out by a multisubunit complex called the 'pyruvate dehydrogenase complex', even though pyruvate dehydrogenase activity describes only one of those reactions. 15855260
