And so we produce NAD plus in this process. Now, once we form malade, an important process takes place that allows us not only to form the pyruvate that can now move across the matrix, across the membrane of the mitochondria, but we also generate NADPH and NADPH. And this is important, as we'll see in just a moment, because this is the NADPH that we're going to use in the fatty acid synthesis process. So next, the malate undergoes an oxidative decorboxylation step that is catalyzed by the enzyme NADP plus linked malate enzyme, also known as malik enzyme. And this reaction is important because not only does it give us a way to actually move that molecule across the membrane of the mitochondria, it also generates that NADPH that will be used in fatty acid synthesis. So, malade in the presence of NADP plus and this enzyme, NADP plus linked malade enzyme, is transformed into pyruvate.
