Meso-tartrate dehydrogenase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a meso-tartrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.1.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- meso-tartrate + NAD+ dihydroxyfumarate + NADH + H+
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are meso-tartaric acid and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are dihydroxyfumarate, NADH, and H+.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is meso-tartrate:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in glyoxylic acid and dicarboxylic acid metabolism.
