Similar
malate dehydrogenase
Enzyme Commission Number
EC 1.1.1.39
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
(S)-malate + NAD+ = pyruvate + CO2 + NADH
Systematic Name
(S)-malate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (decarboxylating)
Function
There are several forms of malate dehydrogenases that differ in their use of substrates and cofactors. This particular form is found only in the plant kingdom. Unlike EC 1.1.1.38, which catalyses a similar reaction, this enzyme can not bind oxaloacetate, and thus does not decarboxylate exogeneously-added oxaloacetate. cf. EC 1.1.1.37, malate dehydrogenase; EC 1.1.1.38, malate dehydrogenase (oxaloacetate-decarboxylating); and EC 1.1.1.83, D-malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating).
Other name
’malic’ enzyme (ambiguous); pyruvic-malic carboxylase (ambiguous); NAD-specific malic enzyme (ambiguous); NAD-malic enzyme (ambiguous); malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) (ambiguous)
