Abstract excerpt
Dysregulation of metabolism is a common phenomenon in cancer cells. The NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases 1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2) function at a crossroads of cellular metabolism in lipid synthesis, cellular defense against oxidative stress, oxidative respiration, and oxygen-sensing signal transduction. We review the normal functions of the encoded enzymes, frequent mutations of IDH1 and IDH2 recently...
