Mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (MDH2) dimer catalyzes the reversible reaction of malate and NAD+ to form oxaloacetate (OA) and NADH + H+ (Luo et al. 2006; Eo et al., 2022). This reaction is highly endergonic but is pulled in the direction annotated here when the TCA cycle is operating. The active enzyme is a palmitoylated homodimer (Sanchez et al. 1998; Pei et al., 2022). Mutations in MDH2 can cause infantile epileptic encephalopathy (DEE51, MIM:617339; see Priestley et al., 2022).
