Type: | Domain | Name: | Lactate/malate dehydrogenase, N-terminal |
Description: | L-lactate dehydrogenases are metabolic enzymes which catalyse the conversion of L-lactate to pyruvate, the last step in anaerobic glycolysis []. L-lactate dehydrogenase is also found as a lens crystallin in bird and crocodile eyes. L-2-hydroxyisocaproate dehydrogenases are also members of the family. Malate dehydrogenases catalyse the interconversion of malate to oxaloacetate []. The enzyme participates in the citric acid cycle.This entry represents the N-terminal, and is thought to be a Rossmann NAD-binding fold. | Short Name: | Lactate/malate_DH_N |
