Enables L-malate dehydrogenase activity. Involved in malate metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Used to study hyperglycemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 51. Is an ortholog of human MDH2 (malate dehydrogenase 2).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
