| Type: | Conserved_site | Name: | Malate synthase, conserved site |
| Description: | Malate synthase () catalyses the aldol condensation of glyoxylate with acetyl-CoA to form malate as part of the second step of the glyoxylate bypass and an alternative to the tricarboxylic acid cycle in bacteria, fungi and plants. Malate synthase has a TIM beta/alpha-barrel fold [].Malate synthase is a protein of 530 to 570 amino acids whose sequence is highly conserved across species []. The signature pattern for this entry is to a very conserved region in the central section of the enzyme. | Short Name: | Malate_synthase_CS |
