Routes of exposure:
Include only IUIS approved allergens.

Biochemical properties

This family contains L-lactate dehydrogenases, malate dehydrogenases and L-2-hydroxyisocaproate dehydrogenases. The N-terminal, NAD-binding domain adopts a Rossmann fold [1].

Allergens from this family

Mala f 4, a major allergen from the yeast Malassezia furfur, is a malate dehydrogenase [2].
