NADP-malic enzyme from plants: a ubiquitous enzyme involved in different metabolic pathways [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2001 NADP‐malic enzyme (NADP‐ME) is a widely distributed enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of L‐malate. Photosynthetic NADP‐MEs are found in C4 bundle sheath chloroplasts and in the cytosol of CAM plants, while non‐photosynthetic NADP‐MEs are either plastidic or cytosolic in various plants.

The regulation and catalytic mechanism of the NADP-malic enzyme from tobacco leaves [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2009 The non-photosynthetic NADP-malic enzyme EC 1.1.1.40 (NADP-ME), which catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of L-malate and NADP+ to produce pyruvate and NADPH, respectively, and which could be involved in plant defense responses, was isolated from ...

Soybean NADP-Malic Enzyme Functions in Malate and Citrate Metabolism and Contributes to Their Efflux under Al Stress [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Malate accumulation has been suggested to balance Al-induced citrate synthesis and efflux in soybean roots. To test this hypothesis, characteristics of Al-induced accumulation and efflux of citrate and malate were compared between two soybean genotypes ...

Regulation of NADP-Malic Enzyme Activity in Maize (Zea mays L.) under Salinity with Reference to Light and Darkness [PDF]
Plants, 2023 We revealed the functional characterization of C4-NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME), extracted and partially purified from maize (Zea mays L. cv. Kaveri 50). The leaf discs were previously activated under 1000–1200 µE m−2 s−1, incubated in bicarbonate (2.0 mM)

Isolation of cDNA for an NADP-malic Enzyme from Aloe arborescens [PDF]
DNA Research, 1997 NADP-malic enzyme catalyzes the reaction of decarboxylation from malate. In CAM plants, functions of this enzyme diverged to include both photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic roles. A full length cDNA for an NADP-malic enzyme was isolated from an 'obligate' CAM plant aloe (Aloe arborescens).
