Abstract excerpt
The NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases 1 and 2 (IDH1/2) catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate into α-ketoglutarate (α-KG). IDH1 and IDH2 mutations have been frequently found in some types of gliomas (low-grade diffuse gliomas WHO grade II, anaplastic gliomas WHO grade III, and secondary glioblastomas WHO grade IV), and have received significant attention because of their specificity to...
