Acetyl-CoA is transpoed out of the mitochondria in order to serve as a substrate for fatty acid or cholesterol synthesis. Which of the following enzymes used in this transpo process provides NADPH required for these reductive biosynthesis reactions?
ATP-citrate lyase
Citrate synthase
Malate dehydrogenase
Malic enzyme
Do not confuse malic enzyme with malate dehydrogenase. Malate dehydrogenase Malic enzyme Produces NADH Produces NADPH
Fatty acid and synthesis
