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. We essentially release the carbon dioxide and we form the NADPH. And it's this NADPH that will be used by fatty acid synthesis. In fact, this is the major pathway that produces the highest number of NADPH molecules that will be used by the fatty acid synthesis process.
