NADPH (sodium salt)

NADPH is the reduced form of the electron acceptor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) and acts as an electron donor in various biological reactions. In plants, NADPH is produced by ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase in the last step of the electron chain during photosynthesis. In animals is it predominantly produced by the pentose phosphate pathway, but is also generated by key mitochondrial enzymes. NADPH provides the reducing equivalents for biosynthetic reactions and the oxidation-reduction involved in protecting against the toxicity of reactive oxygen species. It is also used for the synthesis of lipids and cholesterol and during the process of fatty acid chain elongation.Formal Name: P'->5'-ester with 1,4-dihydro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl-3-pyridinecarboxamide 2'-(dihydrogen phosphate) adenosine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate) sodium salt.
