Fig. 1. Schematic representation of the key enzymatic function of IDH1 and IDH1 mutant.

Fig. 1

IDH wild-type converts isocytrate into a-KG, whereas IDH1Mut changes the enzymatic capacity to further convert a-KG into 2-HG, that accumulates inside the cell. Various cellular and molecular effects of D2HG accumulation have been identified amongst them the most prominent are depictured. Those changes open opportunities for IDH1Mut specific therapeutic interventions and new diagnostic modalities.
