Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP+) activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including NADP biosynthetic process; carboxylic acid metabolic process; and negative regulation of matrix metallopeptidase secretion. Located in cytosol and peroxisome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study bone remodeling disease. 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). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit suppression of tumorigenesis from B16F10 melanoma cells.
