NADPH is the reduced form of the electron acceptor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) and acts as an electron donor in various biological reactions. In plants, NADPH is produced by ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase in the last step of the electron chain during photosynthesis. In animals it is predominantly produced by the pentose phosphate pathway, but it is also generated by key mitochondrial enzymes. NADPH provides the reducing equivalents for biosynthetic reactions and the oxidation-reduction involved in protecting against the toxicity of reactive oxygen species.1,2,3 It is also used for the synthesis of lipids and cholesterol and during the process of fatty acid chain elongation.4
