Nicotinamide adenine dinculeotide phosphate - NADP Na-salt

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate - sodium salt in short also NADP as general name for NADP+ and NADPH (IUPAC suggests the abbreviations NADP+ for the oxidized form, NADPH for the reduced form and NADP as a general name).

β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide 2'-phosphate (NADP+) and β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide 2'-phosphate, reduced (NADPH), comprise a coenzyme redox couple (NADP+ : NADPH) involved in a variety of enzyme-catalyzed oxidation-reduction reactions. The NADP+ / NADPH redox couple facilitates electron transfer in anabolic reactions such as lipid and cholesterol biosynthesis and fatty acyl chain extension. The NADP+ / NADPH redox system is used in a variety of antioxidant mechanisms to prevent the accumulation of reactive oxidation products. NADPH is generated in vivo by the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP).

Aqueous solution stable for about 4 weeks at +2°C to +8°C (pH: 2 - 6).
