NADPH: biosynthesis
- Fuels fatty-acid, cholesterol and nucleotide synthesis
- Supplied largely by the pentose phosphate pathway
- NADPH is anabolism's reducing currency: fatty acid and steroid synthesis run on it (pentose phosphate pathway supplies it)
Drugs with this mechanism (1)
- NADP — Phosphorylated NAD coenzyme; its reduced form, NADPH, supports biosynthesis and antioxidant defenses.
