Gene:
malate dehydrogenase 1, NAD (soluble)
Gene ID:
199536
Symbol:
MDH1
Species:
1000
Description:
Malate dehydrogenase catalyzes the reversible oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate, utilizing the NAD/NADH cofactor system in the citric acid cycle. The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the cytoplasm and may play pivotal roles in the malate-aspartate shuttle that operates in the metabolic coordination between cytosol and mitochondria.
