Me1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) (NADP+) activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including malate 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).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Me1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
