| ncRNA Symbol: | IDH2 | | Full Name: | isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP(+)) 2, mitochondrial | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | D2HGA2|ICD-M|IDH|IDHM|IDP|IDPM|mNADP-IDH | | Chromosome: | chr15 | | Strand: | - | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 90083045 | End Site(bp): | 90102504 | | | Gene Summary: | Isocitrate dehydrogenases catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to 2-oxoglutarate. These enzymes belong to two distinct subclasses, one of which utilizes NAD(+) as the electron acceptor and the other NADP(+). Five isocitrate dehydrogenases have been reported: three NAD(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases, which localize to the mitochondrial matrix, and two NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases, one of which is mitochondrial and the other predominantly cytosolic. Each NADP(+)-dependent isozyme is a homodimer. The protein encoded by this gene is the NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase found in the mitochondria. It plays a role in intermediary metabolism and energy production. This protein may tightly associate or interact with the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014] | | External Links: | |
