Fumarate reductase is the enzyme that converts fumarate to succinate and is important in microbial metabolism as a part of anaerobic respiration.Succinate + acceptor fumarate + reduced acceptorIn other words fumarate reductase couples the reduction of fumarate to succinate to the oxidation of quinol to quinone in a reaction opposite to that catalysed by the related complex II of the respiratory chain (succinate dehydrogenase).Fumarate reductase complex includes three subunits.
