| Function | The chloroplastic ME isoform decarboxylates malate shuttled from neighboring mesophyll cells. The CO(2) released is then refixed by ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase. This pathway eliminates the photorespiratory loss of CO(2) that occurs in most plants. |
| Subcellular Location | Plastid, chloroplast. |
| Top Pathways | Pyruvate metabolism, Carbon metabolism, Carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms |
