Mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (MDH2)
Cofactors used
What it does, reaction by reaction
Malate-Aspartate Shuttle Energy Metabolism & Cellular Respiration · Cytosol + inner mitochondrial membrane
Malate + NAD+ -> oxaloacetate + NADH + H+ (matrix)
Converts Malate NAD+ into Oxaloacetate NADH H+
› Notes
Regenerates matrix NADH, which enters at Complex I - hence ~2.5 ATP per cytosolic NADH.
Showing all 1 reactions.
What accelerates and inhibits it
