MDH2 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His)

Malate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial is a 338 amino acids protein that belongs to the LDH/MDH superfamily. MDH type 1 family. MDH2 catalyzes the reversible oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate, utilizing the NAD/NADH cofactor system in the citric acid cycle. MDH2 is localized to the mitochondria and takes part in the malate-aspartate shuttle that functions in the metabolic coordination between cytosol and mitochondria. MDH2 is highly expressed in the adrenal system, small intestine, heart and pancreas.
