D-malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating)
In enzymology, a D-malate dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are -malate and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are pyruvate, CO2, and NADH.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is -malate:NAD+ oxidoreductase . Other names in common use include D-malate dehydrogenase, D-malic enzyme, bifunctional L-tartrate dehydrogenase-D-malate . This enzyme participates in butanoate metabolism.
