 D-malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating)

In enzymology, a D-malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (R)-malate and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are pyruvate, CO2, and NADH.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor.
