The IDH3G protein also called isocitrate dehydrogenase 3 (NAD+) gamma is a subunit of the IDH3 enzyme complex. This protein has a molecular mass of approximately 39 kDa. It is highly expressed in tissues with a high energy demand like muscle cells and neurons. IDH3G plays an important role in the mitochondrial matrix where it catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate producing NADH and CO2 as byproducts.
Biological function summary
IDH3G is part of the IDH3 enzyme complex which contains multiple subunits and functions within mitochondria. This complex plays a critical role in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle also known as the Krebs cycle. This cycle is fundamental for energy production as it supplies reducing equivalents in the form of NADH which drive ATP synthesis through oxidative phosphorylation. The proper functioning of IDH3G contributes to efficient cellular respiration and energy homeostasis.
Pathways
The function of IDH3G connects to the TCA cycle and the energy metabolism pathway. Within the TCA cycle IDH3G's enzymatic activity ensures the continuation of the cycle and maintains the production of NADH. This is key for the generation of ATP in oxidative phosphorylation. The IDH3 complex works closely with the other components of the TCA cycle including succinate dehydrogenase and citrate synthase ensuring the continuity and regulation of metabolic flux in energy production pathways.
Defects or alterations in IDH3G are associated with metabolic disorders such as lactic acidosis and mitochondrial diseases. These conditions can result from impaired energy production and accumulation of metabolic intermediates. Furthermore IDH3G connections with related proteins could affect cell proliferation and survival in neurodegenerative diseases. Proper regulation and function of IDH3G may impact these diseases through its influence on energy metabolism pathways.
