In

enzymology, a NADPH dehydrogenase (EC 1.6.99.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

NADPH + H+ + acceptor NADP+ + reduced acceptor

The 3

reduced acceptor
.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on NADH or NADPH with other acceptors. It has 2 cofactors: FAD, and FMN.

Nomenclature
