NADP/NADPH Quantitation Kit Usage And Synthesis

Uses

NADP/NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) Quantitation Kit has been used for quantification of NADP/NADPH. It has been used to quantify NAD(P)H in order to determine SHMT2 (serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2) specific enzyme activity.

General Description

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) is an enzymatic cofactor involved in many redox reactions where it cycles between the reduced (NADPH) and oxidized (NADP) forms. NADP is also involved in biosynthetic reactions such as lipid and nucleic acid synthesis where it functions as a reducing agent. The oxidative branch of the Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP) is the major source of NADPH produced in animal cells.
