Structural highlights

Disease

MDHC_HUMAN The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Function

MDHC_HUMAN Catalyzes the reduction of aromatic alpha-keto acids in the presence of NADH (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).^{[1] [2]}
