Function
Mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase that catalyzes the reversible conversion of malate to oxaloacetate using NAD(+) as a cofactor. Plays a central role in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle contributing to cellular respiration and energy production via the mitochondrial electron transport chain (By similarity). Also participates in the malate-aspartate NADH shuttle, facilitating transfer of reducing equivalents between cytosol and mitochondria to maintain redox balance (NAD(+)/NADH homeostasis) and support metabolic flux between compartments (By similarity). In addition to its metabolic role, binds to RNA in cells, associating with cytosolic RNAs including tRNAs and mRNAs (By similarity)
