basic FUNCTION
| isocitrate dehydrogenase 2, NADPH dependent, catalyzing the third step of citric acid cycle |
|
believed to control flux through the tricarboxylic acid cycle  |
|
important physiological role for its allosteric activation during changes in environmental conditions  |
|
increased IDH2-dependent carboxylation of glutamine-derived alpha-ketoglutarate in hypoxia is associated with a concomitant increased synthesis of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) in cells with wild-type IDH1 and IDH2  |
|
IDH1 and IDH2 mutation impairs histone demethylation and results in a block to cell differentiation  |
|
IDH2 activities are a major factor in cancer  |
