Linked from

The 18 pages that link to NADPH, each with the reason it gives.

• GlutathioneRelated: Glutathione reductase draws on NADPH to regenerate reduced glutathione.

• Fatty acid synthesisRelated: Two reduction steps in each elongation cycle consume NADPH.

• C3 carbon fixationRelated: It provides reducing power for converting 3-phosphoglycerate into sugar phosphate.

• NADHCompared with: Its extra phosphate distinguishes it structurally, while its typical cellular roles differ from NADH’s.

• Pentose phosphate pathwayRelated: The oxidative branch produces this reducing cofactor as its central output.

• HMG-CoA reductaseRelated: HMG-CoA reductase consumes NADPH to reduce its substrate.

• Photosystem IRelated: Photosystem I electron transfer helps generate this reducing agent for cellular biosynthesis.

• Methylene blueRelated: NADPH provides electrons used to activate methylene blue during methemoglobinemia treatment.

• RuBisCORelated: NADPH helps reduce carbon-fixation products downstream of RuBisCO.

• Fatty acid elongationRelated: Endoplasmic-reticulum elongation uses NADPH in its reduction steps.

• Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiencyRelated: Low NADPH limits the red cell’s capacity to restore reduced glutathione.

• 5α-reductaseRelated: 5α-reductase uses NADPH as a reducing cofactor in steroid conversion.

• Dihydrofolate reductaseRelated: The enzyme draws electrons from NADPH to reduce dihydrofolate.

• BiosynthesisRelated: Biosynthetic pathways use NADPH to reduce and build carbon-containing molecules.

• Light-dependent reactionsRelated: The reactions produce NADPH for carbon fixation and other chloroplast processes.

• BiliverdinRelated: Biliverdin reductase can draw reducing power from NADPH to make bilirubin.

• Mevalonic acidRelated: HMG-CoA reductase uses NADPH to reduce HMG-CoA into mevalonate.

• Plant metabolismRelated: Photosynthesis generates NADPH, which supplies reducing power for carbon assimilation.
