There are two classes of Fumarases, which depend on the arrangement of their relative subunit, their metal requirement, and their thermal stability. Class I Fumarases can change their state or become inactive when exposed to heat or radiation. They are sensitive to superoxide anions and Fe2+ dependent. Class II Fumarases are found in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. They are iron-independent and thermal-stable. | There are two classes of Fumarases, which depend on the arrangement of their relative subunit, their metal requirement, and their thermal stability.

Fumarase deficiency is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder distinguished by a deficiency of the enzyme Fumarate hydratase and indicated by an excess of Fumaric acid in the urine. It is common of infants with neurologic abnormalities and its potential causes include cytosolic and mitochondrial forms of Fumarase. | Fumarase deficiency is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder distinguished by a deficiency of the enzyme Fumarate hydratase and indicated by an excess of Fumaric acid in the urine.
