2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) is a biproduct of the Krebs cycle, which exists in a D- and L- enantiomer and is structurally similar to α-ketoglutarate. Both 2HG enantiomers have been described to accumulate in diverse cancer and immune cells and can influence cell fate and function. While D-2HG was originally considered as an ‘oncometabolite’ that aberrantly builds up in certain cancers, it is becoming clear that it also physiologically accumulates in immune cells and regulates immune …
