Product details
NADP Regeneration Kit (ab228548) provides two ready to use solutions to regenerate NADP by a simple mixing. This kit can be used for all NADP-requiring systems (e.g. 12-Ketochenodeoxycholic Acid synthesis, Ferredoxin Reductase System). About 300-500 enzyme assays can be performed using this kit. The total number of assays that can be performed depends on the experimental design.
NADP is the electron acceptor for biosynthetic reactions and dehydrogenation reactions. NADP is used for anabolic pathways, such as lipid synthesis, cholesterol synthesis and fatty acid chain elongation. It is also a necessary cofactor in many xenobiotic metabolism reactions. In chloroplasts, NADP is reduced to NADPH by ferredoxin-NADP reductase in the last step of the electron chain in photosynthesis reactions. Many oxidoreductases and all ligases use NADP/NADPH as coenzyme. NADP can also be used in the determination of amylase, creatine kinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase.

Biological function summary
NADPH facilitates reductive biosynthesis and maintains cellular redox status. It acts as a major electron donor in various anabolic reactions including lipid and nucleic acid synthesis. NADPH also contributes to the detoxification of reactive oxygen species and serves in the process of oxidative phosphorylation. Its cofactor activity associates it predominantly with enzymatic complexes such as the cytochrome P450 system.
Pathways
NADPH is fundamental in both the pentose phosphate pathway and the Calvin cycle. In the pentose phosphate pathway it provides reducing power important for fatty acid and cholesterol biosynthesis. In photosynthetic organisms NADPH functions in the Calvin cycle facilitating carbon fixation. The enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase related to NADPH production is integral in NADPH recycling.
