Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate is a cofactor used in metabolism. Its oxidized and reduced forms, NADP+ and NADPH, carry electrons between coupled chemical reactions. In oxygenic photosynthesis, light-dependent reactions produce NADPH for the Calvin cycle, which returns NADP+ for reuse. [ref].
