'''Fumarase''' 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 make S-Malate. This is a reversible reaction. | '''Fumarase''' is used in the citric acid cycle to conduct a transition step in the production of energy to make NADH.
