Background
Isocitrate Dehydrogenase [NADP] Cytoplasmic (IDH1) belongs to the isocitrate and isopropylmalate dehydrogenases family. IDH1 exists as a homodimer, binding one magnesium or manganese ion per subunit. Mutations of IDH1 have been shown to cause metaphyseal chondromatosis with aciduria and are involved in the development of glioma. IDH plays a role in the regeneration of NADPH for intraperoxisomal reductions, such as the conversion of 2, 4-dienoyl-CoAs to 3-enoyl-CoAs, as well as in peroxisomal reactions that consume 2-oxoglutarate, namely the α-hydroxylation of phytanic acid.
