Defects in the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex is a major cause of primary lactic acidosis and neurological dysfunction in infancy. E3 binding protein (E3BP, formerly Protein X) mediates association between the E2 core and the E3 enzyme. Primary defects of the E3BP appear to be a rare cause of pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency.
