Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) (NADP+) activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including carboxylic acid metabolic process; nicotinamide nucleotide metabolic process; and protein homotetramerization. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and nervous system. Orthologous to human ME1 (malic enzyme 1).
