β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate monosodium salt acts as an electron acceptor used by cells. It is also useful in vitro to study NADP. Furthermore, it is used in a wide range of enzyme catalyzed oxidation reduction reactions. The combination of NADP+/NADPH is employed in a variety of antioxidation mechanisms, which protect against reactive oxidation species accumulation.
