โฆ Synopsis
The interspecies homology of dace supernatant ( A 2, AB, B2) and mitochondrial (C2) malate dehydrogenase isozymes has been established through cell fractionation a~d tissue distribution studies. Isolated supernatant malate dehydrogenase (s-MDH) isozymes show significant differences in Michaelis constants for oxaloacetate and in pH optima. Shifts in s-MDH isozyme pH optima with temperature may result in immediate compensation for increase in ectotherm body pH with decrease in temperature, but duplicate s-MDH isozymes are probably maintained through selection for tissue specific regulation of metabolism.
