Uses
Human Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (IDH1) is useful for the study of enzyme kinetics, screening inhibitors, and selectivity profiling. It may be useful as a biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis prediction of non-small cell lung cancer .
General Description
Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) gene is located on human chromosome 2q33. IDH1 is present in the cytoplasm and peroxisomes. It is expressed at high levels in the mammalian liver. IDH1 consists of a C-terminal tripeptide peroxisome, that targets the signal one sequence.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) help in the oxidative carboxylation of isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate, that results in the formation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). It participates in lipid metabolism and glucose sensing. Suppressing IDH1 in pancreatic islets affects the insulin secretion, induced by glucose and leads to increase in lactate production.
Description
Recombinant Saccharomyces Cerevisiae ICDH (NADP) derived from yeast host cells by using over-expression system, is full length same as designated ICD1 from Saccharomyces Cerevisiae. The N-terminal amino acid Phenylalanine residue next to Met is substituted with Alanine for overexpression.
The ICDH is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Background
Isocitrate Dehydrogenase is an enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyzes the conversion of isocitrate and NAD+ to yield 2-ketoglutarate, carbon dioxide, and NADH. It occurs in cell mitochondria. The enzyme requires Mg2+, Mn2+; it is activated by ADP, citrate, and Ca2+, and inhibited by NADH, NADPH, and ATP. The reaction is the key rate-limiting step of the citric acid (tricarboxylic) cycle.
