Function

Catalyzes the reduction of aromatic alpha-keto acids in the presence of NADH (PubMed:2449162, PubMed:3052244). Plays essential roles in the malate-aspartate shuttle and the tricarboxylic acid cycle, important in mitochondrial NADH supply for oxidative phosphorylation (PubMed:31538237). Catalyzes the reduction of 2-oxoglutarate to 2-hydroxyglutarate, leading to elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) (PubMed:34012073).

Notes

The Antibody Pair can be used to quantify Human MDH1 (cytosolic malate dehydrogenase). BSA and Azide free antibody pairs include unconjugated capture and detector antibodies suitable for sandwich ELISAs. The antibodies are provided at an approximate concentration of 1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method. The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Both capture and detector antibodies are rabbit monoclonal antibodies delivering consistent, specific, and sensitive results.

For additional information on the performance of the antibody pair, see the equivalent SimpleStep ELISA® Kit (Human MDH1 ELISA Kit (cytosolic malate dehydrogenase) ab255724), which uses the same antibodies. However, due to differences in their formulation, this antibody pair cannot be used with the consumables provided with our SimpleStep ELISA Kits. Please note that the range provided for the pairs is only an estimation based on the performance of the related product using the same antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody pair in your assay.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:


  • Sandwich ELISA

  • FRET/TR-FRET/HTRF

Activity summary

The cytosolic malate dehydrogenase commonly called MDH1 or malate dehydrogenase 1 is an enzyme that plays an important role in the citric acid cycle. Its main function is to catalyze the reversible conversion of malate to oxaloacetate using NAD+ as a cofactor. This enzyme has an approximate molecular mass of 36 kDa. MDH1 is expressed in the cytosol of various cell types throughout the body. It is critical in enabling cells to efficiently convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP which is vital for cellular function and survival.

Biological function summary

This enzyme supports numerous cellular processes by maintaining redox balance and facilitating energy production. MDH1 acts independently and isn't part of any larger protein complex. However its efficiency directly impacts the cycling of metabolites necessary for cellular respiration and energy metabolism. By converting malate into oxaloacetate MDH1 directly influences processes critical for the maintenance of cell health and function.

Pathways

MDH1 is an integral component of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and the malate-aspartate shuttle. In the TCA cycle it plays an important role in the conversion steps that drive energy generation within cells. Additionally the malate-aspartate shuttle is an important pathway connecting cytosolic and mitochondrial processes by facilitating the exchange of reducing equivalents. Through these pathways MDH1 interacts and collaborates with proteins like aspartate aminotransferase (GOT1) and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (MDH2) showcasing the interconnected nature of metabolic pathways.

Associated diseases and disorders

Dysfunction or abnormal expression of MDH1 has been associated with various conditions including cancer and metabolic syndromes. In cancer aberrant MDH1 activity can lead to altered energy metabolism promoting tumor progression and survival. Additionally MDH1's role in glucose and lipid metabolism makes it relevant in metabolic syndrome where improper energy balance can exacerbate disease states. Proteins connected through these associations include hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) in cancer metabolism and insulin signaling proteins in metabolic syndromes further illustrating the broader implications of MDH1's function in health and disease.
