1.1.1.82 | (S)-malate + NADP+ |
- |
1.1.1.82 | more |
NADPH is oxidized and oxalacetate is reduced to malate by NADP-MDH |
1.1.1.82 | oxaloacetate + NADPH |

1.1.1.82 | oxaloacetate + NADPH |
the enzyme contributes to malate formation during the operation of the C4-dicarboxylic acid pathway of photosynthesis, it possibly also has a photosynthetic function in Calvin cycle plants |
1.1.1.82 | oxaloacetate + NADPH |
enzyme functions in C4 pathway of photosynthesis |
1.1.1.82 | oxaloacetate + NADPH |
important enzyme of photosynthetic CO2 fixation |
1.1.1.82 | oxaloacetate + NADPH |
enzyme may have a common role in both Calvin cycle and C4-photosynthesis |
1.1.1.82 | oxaloacetate + NADPH |
key enzyme of the photosynthetic pathway of C4 plants |
1.1.1.82 | oxaloacetate + NADPH |
when no reoxidation of the light-generated NADPH can take place because of a lack of electron acceptors, full activation of the enzyme as well as reduction of thioredioxin m is observed. The fine regulation of the reductive activation of the enzyme determines the actual extent of export of reducing equivalents, in the form of malate, via the dicarboxylic acid translocator |
1.1.1.82 | oxaloacetate + NADPH |
under physiological conditions the enzyme functions in the direction of malate formation. Enzyme probably functions in providing the cytoplasm with reducing equivalents in the form of malate which in addition to its various roles, can be used for generation of carbon skeletons for amino acid biosynthesis |
