Question

What is the role of NADP?

Answer 1

Answer:

Function of NADP

NADP+ functions alongside many enzymes to provide energy to the many reactions in a cell. NADP+ is the used form of NADPH, and must be reduced with more electrons and a hydrogen. This is typically done during photosynthesis in plants, or as part of sugar digestion in animals.

Answer 2

Answer:

NADP act as coenzymes of various catalyst such as glutathione reductase

Explanation:

NADP or Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate performs various biological functions

NADP is reduced to NADPH that is used in various biosynthesis process such as fatty acid biosynthesis.

NADPH act as coenzyme of glutathione reductase which helps in the conversion of oxidized glutathione to reduced glutathione along with the oxidation of NADPH to form NADP.

NADPH formed from NADP helps in the formation of free radicals which ultimately leads to the destruction of foreign pathogen by the process called respiratory burst.
