Idh2 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP+) activity. Involved in several processes, including NADP biosynthetic process; negative regulation of glial cell proliferation; and negative regulation of matrix metallopeptidase secretion. Predicted to be located in cytosol and peroxisome. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Used to study status epilepticus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria 2; acute myeloid leukemia; carcinoma (multiple); and lung cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human IDH2 (isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP(+)) 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Idh2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
