It catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of malate to pyruvate generating NADPH in the process. The protein has a molecular mass of approximately 65 kDa. ME3 is mainly expressed in tissues with high metabolic demands such as the liver and adipose tissue where it supports various biosynthetic pathways.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nME3 influences cellular redox balance via its production of NADPH an important reducing agent. It is not part of a larger protein complex but serves an essential function on its own. ME3 contributes to lipid biosynthesis by supplying NADPH for fatty acid elongation and cholesterol synthesis which supports cell growth and proliferation. Its activity impacts overall metabolic homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nME3 has a significant role in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and lipid metabolism. It interfaces with the TCA cycle by providing a critical link between carbohydrate and lipid metabolism through pyruvate production. ME3 interacts with other metabolic enzymes like citrate synthase emphasizing its integrating function in energy production and storage pathways.\u003cbr\u003e\nME3's dysregulation associates with metabolic conditions such as obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Altered ME3 activity can impact fatty acid metabolism and contribute to lipid accumulation in liver cells. It also interacts with proteins like acetyl-CoA carboxylase involved in fatty acid biosynthesis highlighting its potential role in disease progression. Understanding ME3's function offers insights into the etiology of these metabolic disorders and opportunities for therapeutic intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46844185182377,"sku":"ab172972","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab172972","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
