The protein

Protein family

• LDH2/MDH2 oxidoreductase family (according to Swiss-Prot)

Structure

• [PDB|4H8A] (41% identity)

[SW|Localization]

• cytoplasm (according to Swiss-Prot)

Additional information

• The gene is annotated in KEGG as an ortholog of malate dehydrogenase EC 1.1.1.37. but it is marked as “uncharacterized oxidoreductase” (EC 1.1.1.-) in Swiss-Prot. In MetaCyc it is marked as “similar to malate dehydrogenase”. As the paper by Mekjian et al. [Pubmed|9882655] suggests this gene is more likely to be involved in the glucuronate pathway (for which EC 1.1.1.37 is not a member), no literature/experimental evidence supporting the annotation is available.
