Description

NADPH is the product of the final electron acceptor NADP+ accepting electrons.
NADPH plays the role of hydrogen-transmitting body in many chemical reactions in living organisms, which is of great significance. It is a phosphorylated derivative at the 2\'-position of the ribose ring system linked to adenine in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), and is involved in various anabolic reactions, such as the synthesis of lipids, fatty acids and nucleotides , the dark reaction can also provide energy for the fixation of carbon dioxide. These reactions require NADPH as a reducing agent, a donor of hydride ions, and NADPH is the reduced form of NADP+.
