Biological function summary
ME3 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.
Pathways
ME3 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.
General info
Function
Catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of (S)-malate to pyruvate using NADP(+) as a cofactor (PubMed : 7818469). Can also reverse the decarboxylation reaction, but only with significantly lower efficiency (PubMed : 7818469).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the malic enzymes family.
