**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Enzyme

**Definition:** A family of enzymes whose members reversibly catalyze the oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate using the reduction of NAD+ to NADH and are involved in multiple metabolic pathways. There are 2 proteins in this family, malate dehydrogenase, cytoplasmic and malate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial.
