General description

D-2-Hydroxyglutarate Dehydrogenase (D2HGDH) is a member of the D-2-hydroxyacid NAD+ dependent dehydrogenase family of proteins. D2HGDH catalyzes the conversion of α-ketoglutarate (α--KG) to D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D2HG), coupled to the oxidation of NADH to NAD+ .

The crystal structure of D2HGDH from Acidaminococcus fermentans has been reported. D2HGDH from Acidaminococcus fermentans has been used in several enzymatic assays, such as:
  • A continuous spectrophotometric assay to measure the activity of aminotransferases, based on the transamination of a keto compound and L-glutamate, which yields a corresponding amino compound and 2-oxoglutarate.
  • Determination of D2HG levels in biological fluids such as serum, urine, cell culture supernatants, and cell or tissue lysates.
  • A coupled assay system to measure branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase activity.

Unit Definition

One unit of enzyme oxidizes 1 μmole of NADH to NAD+ coupled to the reduction of α-ketoglutarate to (D)-2-hydroxyglutarate per minute at 37°C at pH 8.0.

Preparation Note

This recombinant D2HGDH product is supplied as an aqueous solution in 20 mM Trizma® buffer, pH 7.5, with 150 mM NaCl, and 10% glycerol.

NAD(+)-dependent (R)-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase (HGDH) catalyses the reduction of 2-oxoglutarate to (R)-2-hydroxyglutarate and belongs to the d-2-hydroxyacid NAD(+)-dependent dehydrogenase (d-2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase) protein family. Its crystal structure was determined by phase combination to 1.98 A resolution. Structure-function relationships obtained by the comparison

Levels of (D)-2-hydroxyglutarate [D2HG, (R)-2-hydroxyglutarate] are increased in some metabolic diseases and in neoplasms with mutations in the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) and isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) genes. Determination of D2HG is of relevance to diagnosis and monitoring of disease.
