this enzyme catalyzes a step required in the transfer of reducing equivalents from the mitochondrial compartment to the cytoplasm and participates in the formation of glucose and lactate from pyruvate by the overall reaction : 2 pyruvate- + 2 nadhmito + 4 atp4- + 4 h2o leads to 1/2 glucose + lactate- + 2 nad+ mito + 4 adp3- + 4 hpo4 ( 2 ) - + h+ .
