It catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of malate to pyruvate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle converting NAD+ to NADH. ME2 is primarily expressed in tissues with high metabolic activity such as liver and muscle. The enzyme plays a role in energy production and is found across various species reflecting its evolutionary conservation.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nME2 is an important regulator of cellular metabolism and part of the mitochondrial malate-aspartate shuttle. The enzyme helps facilitate the transfer of reducing equivalents across the mitochondrial membrane. ME2 does not function alone and might interact with other metabolite transporters in mitochondrial membranes contributing to the balance of metabolic intermediates and maintenance of cellular energy homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nMalate metabolism and energy production involve ME2's role in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and glycolysis. The tricarboxylic acid cycle requires ME2 for effective conversion of nutrients into usable energy. ME2 links with other metabolic enzymes including citrate synthase for efficient energy flow. Additionally the enzyme's activity affects the synthesis of biosynthetic intermediates integrating nutrient signals with bioenergetic demands.\u003cbr\u003e\nME2 alterations can impact conditions like metabolic syndromes and neurodegenerative diseases. Research indicates ME2 changes might relate to diabetes where altered energy metabolism disrupts insulin signaling. ME2 also bears connection to Alzheimer's disease likely due to its involvement in mitochondrial dysfunction a characteristic of the disorder. Understanding these links can guide therapeutic strategies aimed at correcting metabolic disturbances.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46851573317801,"sku":"ab240113","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab240113","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
