This molecules' namesake oxidase is mutated in most version of Chronic Granulomatous Diseaseand is responsible for the phagocytic respiratory burst.
This molecules' namesake oxidase is mutated in most version of Chronic Granulomatous Diseaseand is responsible for the phagocytic respiratory burst. This compound is required in each cycle offatty acid synthesis to transform the carbon-3 ketone to a hydroxyl group. This compound isgenerated alongside 6-phosphoglucono-delta-lactone and ribulose-5-phosphate in the pentose (*)phosphate pathway, which is the primary source for this compound in humans. This substance isconsumed by glutathione reductase, and in plants this compound is produced alongside ATP in the lightdependentreactions. For 10 points, name this phosphate-containing reduced dinucleotide, an energycarrier which is the end product of the photosynthetic electron transport chains.
