NATE-0445
Description
Malic dehydrogenase (MDH) exists as two isoforms within eukaryotic cells, one that is expressed in the mitochondria and functions in the TCA cycle and one in the cytoplasm that converts malate from the mitochondria back into oxaloacetate.

Applications
Malic dehydrogenase has been used in a study to assess a flow injection system for on-line monitoring of fumaric acid in biological pr ocesses. 1 It has also been used in a study to investigate a root-knot nematode parasitizing peanut in Texas.
