Description | The malate dehydrogenase (MDH) of some extremophilies is more similar to the L-lactate dehydrogenases (L-LDH) from various sources than to other MDHs [ ].This family consists of bacterial and archaeal malate/L-lactate dehydrogenases and related proteins. The archaebacterial malate dehydrogenase , deviates from the eubacterial and eukaryotic enzymes having a low selectivity for the coenzyme (NAD(H) or NADP(H)) and catalyzing the reduction of oxalacetate to malate more efficiently than the reverse reaction [ ]. | Name | Malate/L-lactate dehydrogenase-like |
Short Name | Malate/L-lactate_DH-like | Type | Family |
