Malate dehydrogenase (NAD(P)+)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Malate dehydrogenase (NAD(P)+) (EC 1.1.1.299, MdH II, NAD(P)+-dependent malate dehyrogenase) is an enzyme with systematic name (S)-malate:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction:[2]

The enzyme was characterized from the methanogenic archaeon Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, catalyses only the reduction of oxaloacetate, and can use NAD+ or NADP+ with similar specific activity. It is different from EC 1.1.1.37 (malate dehydrogenase (NAD+)), EC 1.1.1.82 (malate dehydrogenase (NADP+)) and EC 1.1.5.4 (malate dehydrogenase (quinone)).
