Fumarase

Function Fumarase or fumarase hydratase 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 fumarate to make S-malate. This is a reversible reaction.

Class I fumarases can change their state or become inactive when exposed to heat or radiation. They are sensitive to superoxide anions and Fe2+ dependent. Class II fumarases are found in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. They are iron-independent and thermal-stable. Disease Fumarase deficiency is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder distinguished by a deficiency of the enzyme fumarate hydratase and indicated by an excess of fumaric acid in the urine. It is common in infants with neurologic abnormalities and its potential causes include cytosolic and mitochondrial forms of fumarase.
