Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources
Exhibits isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP+) activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including NADP biosynthetic process; isocitrate metabolic process; and negative regulation of gliogenesis. Localizes to the cytosol and peroxisome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria 2; acute myeloid leukemia; hepatocellular clear cell carcinoma; and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human IDH2 (isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP(+)) 2).
