IDH1 Antibody Blocking Peptide

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 cytoplasm and peroxisomes. It contains the PTS-1 peroxisomal targeting signal sequence. The presence of this enzyme in peroxisomes suggests roles 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 alpha-hydroxylation of phytan
