Malic Enzyme 2 (ME2, His), human: NAD-dependent malic enzyme (ME2), mitochondrial is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ME2 gene. This gene encodes a mitochondrial NAD-dependent malic enzyme, a homotetrameric protein, which catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of malate to pyruvate. Three different isoforms of ME are known to be in mammalian tissues: a strictly cytosolic NADP+-dependent enzyme, an NADP+-dependent mitochondrial isoform, and a mitochondrial isoenzyme that is able to use both NAD+ and NADP+ but is more effective with NAD+. The mammalian isoforms size is about 62-64 kDa. A native size of 240,000 Da proposes a tetrameric structure for the active enzyme.
