In the context of this symposium, it is of interest that both glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and NADP+ were first discovered in erythrocytes (1, 2). During the subsequent two decades, G6PD was isolated from a variety of animals, plants and microorganisms (3). These enzymes all utilized NADP+ as the coenzyme for the oxidation of glucose 6-phosphate. As other NADP-linked enzymes were discovered and as the metabolic roles of the oxidized and reduced nicotinamide coenzymes were recognized, it became clear that despite their great structural similarity, NAD and NADP functioned quite differently in metabolism. In particular, the oxidation of NADH is generally associated with catabolic, ATP-generating processes, such as mitochondrial electron transport, whereas NADPH oxidation accompanies
