There are several forms of malate dehydrogenases that differ by their use of substrate and cofactors. This NAD+-dependent enzyme forms oxaloacetate and unlike EC 1.1.1.38, malate dehydrogenase (oxaloacetate-decarboxylating), is unable to convert it to pyruvate. Also oxidizes some other 2-hydroxydicarboxylic acids. cf. EC 1.1.1.82, malate dehydrogenase (NADP+); EC 1.1.1.299, malate dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+]; and EC 1.1.5.4, malate dehydrogenase (quinone).

(S)-malate:NAD+ oxidoreductase
There are several forms of malate dehydrogenases that differ by their use of substrate and cofactors.

the reduction of oxaloacetate with NADH is preferred. Malate is oxidized by NAD+ at 10% of the maximal velocity for the reduction of oxaloacetate with NADH. No oxidation of malate with NADP+ as coenzyme
the reduction of oxaloacetate with NADH is preferred. Malate is oxidized by NAD+ at 10% of the maximal velocity for the reduction of oxaloacetate with NADH. Maximal activity with NADPH is 10% compared to the activity with NADH
MDH is a ubiquitous enzyme found in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. The enzyme belongs to the superfamily of 2-ketoacid NAD(P)+-dependent dehydrogenases. MDH has diverged into two distinct phylogenetic groups. One group includes cytoplasmic MDH, chloroplast MDH, and MDH from Thermus flavus; the other group includes MDHs that are similar to lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Structure comparisons, the MDHs are mostly dimeric or tetrameric, overview
crystal structure shows a compact homodimer with one coenzyme bound per subunit. The crystal structure reveals that the association of the dimers to form tetramers is prevented by several deletions, taking place at the level of two loops that are known to be essential for the tetramerization process within the LDH and malDH enzymes
