ME1


Description

The ME1 (malic enzyme 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 6.

ME1 or ME-1 can refer to the human gene ME1, which encodes for the NADP-dependent malic enzyme.

This enzyme catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of (S)-malate in the presence of NADP(+) and divalent metal ions, and decarboxylation of oxaloacetate.

ME1 is also known as HUMNDME, MES.
