text
  • cytosolic form of fumarase
  • upon DNA damage the protein is transported from the cytosol to the nucleus, where by virtue of its enzymatic activity it participates in the DNA damage response
  • basic FUNCTION
  • catalyzing the seventh step of citric acid cycle
  • participates in the Krebs cycle in mitochondria, as well as in regulation of cytosolic fumarate levels
  • tumor suppressor functions of FH in sporadic kidney cancer
  • participates in the tricarboxylic acid cycle in mitochondria which is essential for cellular respiration in eukaryotes
  • in the cytoplasm, participate in the cellular response to DNA double strand breaks

    FH mRNA and protein expression are reduced in clear cell renal cancer, the most common histologic variant of kidney cancer, and reduced FH leads to the accumulation of HIF2A
