Description and references

One of the biologically active forms of nicotinic acid, q.v. Differs from NAD, q.v., by an additional phosphate group at the 2′-position of the adenosine moiety. Serves as a coenzyme of hydrogenases and dehydrogenases. Present in living cells primarily in the reduced form (NADPH) and is involved in synthetic reactions. Isoln from horse blood: O.
