MDH — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT4G208760 (symbol MDH) on garden pea chromosome 4LG4 encodes a malate dehydrogenase with NAD-L-malate dehydrogenase and L-malate dehydrogenase (NADP+) activities, belonging to the malate dehydrogenase NAD-dependent eukaryotic and type 2 domain families. The gene is associated with the TCA cycle, cellular respiration, oxidative phosphorylation, electron transport chain, fermentation, pentose-phosphate shunt, oxaloacetate and malate metabolism, NAD metabolism, sucrose and starch anabolism, stomatal opening, seed germination, germination rate, response to hydrogen peroxide, detoxification, NO storage, regeneration, and proteolysis. Its product localises to the cytoplasm and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to malate dehydrogenase activity (EC 1.1.1.37 and 1.1.1.82).
