In enzymology, meso-tartrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.1.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

+ NAD+
 
 
 
H+
 
H+
 
dihydroxyfumaric acid
 

The two substrates of this enzyme are meso-tartaric acid and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Its products are dihydroxyfumaric acid, reduced NADH, and a proton.[1][2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is meso-tartrate:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in glyoxylic acid and dicarboxylic acid metabolism.
