Fumarase (more precisely: fumarate hydratase ) are enzymes that catalyze the addition of water to fumarate to form L- malate or the associated reverse reaction . This reaction is essential in the citric acid cycle .
There are two different classes of fumarases: Fumarases I are bacterial, iron cluster-containing, heat-labile proteins, while Fumarases II occur in prokaryotes and eukaryotes , do not require metal ions for their catalytic effect and are much more stable. Fumarases I appear as dimers, fumarases II as tetramers in the mitochondria . Lack of human fumarase II, by mutation of FH - gene to emerge and the fumaric acid Urie and tilt fibroids cause.
