NADP
Coenzyme II | Nicotinamide-Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate | Triphosphopyridine Nucleotide | NADPH | Dinucleotide Phosphate, Nicotinamide-Adenine | Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate | Nucleotide, Triphosphopyridine
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-phosphate (NMN) coupled by pyrophosphate linkage to the 5'-phosphate adenosine 2',5'-bisphosphate. It serves as an electron carrier in a number of reactions, being alternately oxidized (NADP+) and reduced (NADPH). (Dorland, 27th ed) |
