Malate dehydrogenase (EC=1.1.1.37) is an enzyme that reversibly catalyzes the oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate. This reaction is part of many metabolic pathways, including the citric acid cycle. Malate dehydrogenase is also involved in gluconeogenesis, the synthesis of glucose from smaller molecules. The protein is highly expressed in: young panicles and immature seeds, while its levels in roots and leaves are low. Alternative name: PP37.
