NADP+ is the oxidized form of the electron donor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. NADP+ together with its reduced form, reduced NADPH, is involved in maintaining redox balance and supporting the biosynthesis of fatty acids and nucleic acids [1].
NADP+, a structural analogue of NAD+, is synthesized by transferring a phosphate group from ATP to the 2′-hydroxyl group of the adenosine ribose moiety of NAD+. This reaction is catalyzed by NADKs [2]. NADP+ act as a cofactor in various biological reactions [3]. NADP+/NADPH is important in regulating the cellular redox state, energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, gene expression, and signaling pathways, NADP+/NADPH are essential for maintaining a large array of biological processes[3,4,5].
