C37E2.1 encodes the C. elegans homolog of the beta subunit of an NAD+-dependent mitochondrial isocitrate dehydrogenase; by homology, the product of C37E2.1 is predicted to catalyze the formation of alpha-ketoglutarate from isocitrate as part of the citric acid cycle.
Predicted to enable isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity and metal ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in isocitrate metabolic process and tricarboxylic acid cycle. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Expressed in head. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa 46. Is an ortholog of human IDH3B (isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD(+)) 3 non-catalytic subunit beta).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
