| Application: | Malic dehydrogenase has been used in a study to assess the comparative molluscicidal action of Ginko biloba extract on snail hosts. It has also been used in a study to investigate the effect of early feed restriction on metabolic programming and compensatory growth in broiler chickens. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Eukaryotic cells contain two different isozymes of malate dehydrogenase: mitochondrial (m-MDH) and soluble or cytoplasmic (s-MDH). This product consists of the mitochondrial form. The enzyme catalyzes the following reaction:Oxaloacetate + β-NADH → L-Malate + β-NAD |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Malic Dehydrogenase can be reversibly inactivated by treatment with pyridoxal 5′-phosphate at 25 °C. |
| General description: | Malic dehydrogenase is a mitochondrial isozyme and an important catalyst in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. |
| General description: | Mitochondrial Isozyme |
