step 8 Reversible

L-Malate + NAD+ ⇌ oxaloacetate + NADH + H+

Converts Malate NAD+ into Oxaloacetate NADH H+

Notes

Required cofactor: NAD+. Although the standard free-energy change is unfavorable, the reaction proceeds in vivo because citrate synthase rapidly consumes oxaloacetate; it is reversible and regenerates the acceptor required for the next turn.
