Background: MDH1 (Malate Dehydrogenase 1), also called as MDHA or MOR2, catalyzes the NAD/NADH-dependent, reversible oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate in many metabolic pathways, including the citric acid cycle, fatty acid synthesis and gluconeogenesis. MDH1 is a cytosolic isozyme, and it is a part of the malate-aspartate shuttle (MAS). MAS is important for intracellular NAD(H) redox homeostasis as it transfers reducing equivalents across the mitochondrial membrane. NAD(H) itself cannot pass the mitochondrial inner membrane, so cytosolic and mitochondrial NAD+/NADH pools are independent from each other, and a proper balance of redox state per compartment is important for cell proliferation and cell growth. A constant supply of cytosolic NAD+ is required to sustain glycolysis via glyceraldehyde-3- phosphate dehydrogenase. Replenishing cytosolic NAD+ occurs via the reversible reduction of oxaloacetate to L-malate by MDH1. Besides, recent studies indicate that MDH1 is overexpressed in several cancers and contributes to PDAC (Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma) cell proliferation and metabolism via NAD production to support glycolysis.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Malate dehydrogenase catalyzes the reversible oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate, utilizing the NAD/NADH cofactor system in the citric acid cycle. The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the cytoplasm and may play pivotal roles in the malate-aspartate shuttle that operates in the metabolic coordination between cytosol and mitochondria. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
