The role of Q6PDH enzyme in plant self-defense

Abstract

NADPH is required in the synthesis of the reduced form of glutathione, which is one of the vital metabolites of the cell, and it performs the function of coenzyme in the activity of glutathione reductase enzyme, which ensures its synthesis [1]. It is also a necessary metabolite for the normal functioning of the catalase enzyme. Catalase, which is involved in many processes, is one of the components of the cell's defense system [2]. NADPH is also used in the synthesis of steroids, which are one of the components of the membrane and play an important role in its integrity and functional activity. One of the important places where it is used is the synthesis of fatty acids [2].
