EC |
1.18.1.6 |
Accepted name: |
adrenodoxin-NADP+ reductase |
Reaction: |
2 reduced adrenodoxin + NADP+ + H+ = 2 oxidized adrenodoxin + NADPH |
Other name(s): |
adrenodoxin reductase; nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-adrenodoxin reductase; AdR; NADPH:adrenal ferredoxin oxidoreductase; NADPH-adrenodoxin reductase |
Systematic name: |
reduced adrenodoxin:NADP+ oxidoreductase |
Comments: |
A flavoprotein (FAD). The enzyme, which transfers electrons from NADPH to adrenodoxin molecules, is the first component of the mitochondrial cytochrome P-450 electron transfer systems, and is involved in the biosynthesis of all steroid hormones. |
