Oxidoreductase
CLASS OF ENZYMES INVOLVED IN REDOX REACTIONS
Oxidoreductases; Oxidoreducatases; NADH or NADPH oxidoreductases; Oxidation-reduction enzyme
In biochemistry, an oxidoreductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of electrons from one molecule, the reductant, also called the electron donor, to another, the oxidant, also called the electron acceptor. This group of enzymes usually utilizes NADP+ or NAD+ as cofactors.
