Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate - Wikipedia Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, abbreviated NADP [1] [2] or, in older notation, TPN (triphosphopyridine nucleotide), is a cofactor used in anabolic reactions, such as the Calvin cycle and lipid and nucleic acid syntheses, which require NADPH as a reducing agent ('hydrogen source')

NADPH - Definition and Function - Biology Dictionary NADPH is a cofactor, used to donate electrons and a hydrogens to reactions catalyzed by some enzymes Typically enzymes involved in anabolic pathways that create large molecules use NADPH, while enzymes involved in the breakdown of molecules use the analog NADH
NADPH—The Forgotten Reducing Equivalent - PMC NADPH is used for reductive biosynthesis of fatty acids, cholesterol, nucleotides, and amino acids NADPH is used by NOXs to generate superoxide NADPH is used as an electron donor to reduce oxidized GSH and TRX, thus maintaining antioxidant capacity in cells
