Overview
Idh1 Gene Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 plays an important role in the study of neurodegenerative diseases. This page provides comprehensive information about this topic, including its mechanisms, significance in disease processes, and therapeutic implications.
Introduction
Idh1 Gene Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 is an important component in the neurobiology of neurodegenerative diseases. This page provides detailed information about its structure, function, and role in disease processes. [@supsup2022]
IDH1 (Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1)[@supsup2013] encodes a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate, playing crucial roles in cellular metabolism and oxidative stress response. [@supsup2021]
Gene Overview
Function
IDH1 is a NADP+-dependent enzyme localized primarily in the cytosol and peroxisomes. It catalyzes the reversible oxidation of isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate (α-KG), producing NADPH.
Key Functions:
- NADPH Production: Generates NADPH for antioxidant defense and biosynthetic reactions
- Cellular Metabolism: Part of the tricarboxylic acid cycle
- Oxidative Stress Protection: NADPH supports glutathione reductase
- Epigenetic Regulation: Produces α-KG, a cofactor for dioxygenases
Disease Associations
Alzheimer's Disease
- IDH1 activity is reduced in AD brain
- Impaired NADPH production contributes to oxidative stress
- α-KG deficiency affects histone demethylation
- Metabolic alterations in AD neurons
Parkinson's Disease
- IDH1 polymorphisms associated with PD risk
- Reduced IDH1 in substantia nigra
- Contributes to dopaminergic neuron vulnerability
Gliomas
- IDH1 mutations are common in low-grade gliomas
- Produce 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) oncometabolite
- Affects epigenetic regulation
Expression
IDH1 is expressed in:
- [Neurons](/entities/neurons) (moderate)
- [Astrocytes](/entities/astrocytes) (high)
- Oligodendrocytes
- Various peripheral tissues
