This enzyme catalyzes the NADP+-dependent oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate (D-threo-isocitrate) to 2-ketoglutarate (2-oxoglutarate), a reaction critical for metabolic pathways that require 2-ketoglutarate as a substrate, such as those involving phytanoyl-CoA dioxygenase.
It plays a pivotal role in generating NADPH, a vital cofactor in various biosynthetic processes, including lipid synthesis, antioxidant defense, and detoxification pathways. Beyond its metabolic functions, the enzyme may also act as a corneal epithelial crystallin, contributing to the maintenance of corneal epithelial transparency and overall ocular health. These diverse roles highlight its importance in both metabolic and structural cellular integrity.
