Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of tumorigenesis associated with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP(+))-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutations in gliomas is not fully understood. Loss of catalytic activity leading to a decrease in α-ketoglutarate (αKG) and gain of novel catalytic activity leading to production of D: -2-hydroxylglutarate (D: -2-HG) are both found in IDH1-mutated glioma cells. Both the...
