'''Fumarase''' is used in the citric acid cycle to conduct a transition step in the production of energy to make NADH. It metabolizes fumarate in the cytosol, which becomes a byproduct of the urea cycle and amino acid catabolism. It catalyzes the addition of water to make S-malate. This is a reversible reaction<ref>PMID:16204892</ref>.
