D-2-Hydroxyglutarate Assay Kit (ab211070) provides a convenient method to detect D-2-Hydroxyglutarate (D2HG).
How the assay works
In the D 2 Hydroxyglutarate assay, D-2-Hydroxyglutarate is oxidized to alpha-Ketoglutarate in the presence of D2HG Enzyme and Substrate Mix. The intermediate reduces the probe to a colored product with strong absorbance at OD 450 nm. This absorbance is proportional to the amount of D2HG present in the samples.

Other Notes
This product was previously called K213 Biovision D-2-Hydroxyglutarate (D2HG) Assay Kit (Colorimetric). Biovision was acquired by Abcam in 2021.
In eukaryotic cells, Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (IDH1, IDH2 and IDH3) catalyzes the interconversion of Isocitrate and alpha-Ketoglutarate. In human cancers, an IDH mutation causes a gain-of-function, which reduces its affinity for isocitrate and facilitates the conversion of alpha ketoglutarate to D-2-Hydroxyglutarate in the presence of NADP. D-2-Hydroxyglutarate (D2HG, D-2-Hydroxyglutarate) is present at low level in normal cells and tissues, but is significantly elevated in metabolic diseases and various cancers. Therefore, detection of elevated D2HG is important for early diagnosis, prognosis and the development of therapeutic strategies against these maladies.
