Oxaloacetic acid, also known as oxosuccinic acid, is a four-carbon dicarboxylic acid appearing as an intermediate of the citric acid cycle. In vivo, oxaloacetate (the ionised form of oxaloacetic acid) is formed by the oxidation of L-malate, catalysed by malate dehydrogenase, and reacts with Acetyl-CoA to form citrate, catalysed by citrate synthase. It is also formed in the mesophyll of plants by the condensation of CO2 with phosphoenolpyruvate, catalysed by oxaloacetate decarboxylase. ...
