Abstract:Mitochondrial NAD‐ and NADP‐isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDH) are crucial in the Krebs cycle. NAD‐IDH is composed of 3 subunits in the ratio 2α:1β:1γ and is allosterically regulated by ADP, by lowering the Km‐isocitrate. Two individuals with autosomal recessive Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), but no other major symptoms, are homozygous for mutations in the β‐subunit of NAD‐IDH: the missense βL98P, and a 1‐basepair deletion in codon βI163 (ATT to –TT) resulting in a frameshift and premature termination of the β‐subuni… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
