Protein
Probable tartrate dehydrogenase/decarboxylase
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Function
Has multiple catalytic activities. Apart from catalyzing the oxidation of (+)-tartrate to oxaloglycolate, also converts meso-tartrate to D-glycerate and catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of D-malate to pyruvate.
Similarity
Belongs to the isocitrate and isopropylmalate dehydrogenases family.
