Metabolism and Enzymology

Malic Enzymes of Higher Plants

Characteristics, Regulation, and Physiological Function

Department of Biochemistry, University of California, Riverside, California 92521

The characteristics and distribution of the malic enzyme in plants is discussed as well as those features which appear to be limited to the plant NAD malic enzyme. Regulation of the malic enzyme as it relates to the physiological roles of this enzyme is also discussed.
