MDH1 Antibody Blocking Peptide

This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the NAD/NADH-dependent， reversible oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate in many metabolic pathways， including the citric acid cycle. Two main isozymes are known to exist in eukaryotic cells: one is found in the mitochondrial matrix and the other in the cytoplasm. This gene encodes the cytosolic isozyme， which plays a key role in the malate-aspartate shuttle that allows malate to pass through the mitochondrial membrane to be transformed into oxaloacetate for further cellular processes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
