EC 1.6.1.1

Accepted name: NAD(P)+ transhydrogenase (Si-specific)

Reaction: NADPH + NAD+ = NADP+ + NADH

Other name(s): pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase; transhydrogenase; NAD(P)+ transhydrogenase; nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) transhydrogenase; NAD+ transhydrogenase; NADH transhydrogenase; nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase; NADPH-NAD+ transhydrogenase; pyridine nucleotide transferase; NADPH-NAD+ oxidoreductase; NADH-NADP+-transhydrogenase; NADPH:NAD+ transhydrogenase; H+-Thase; non-energy-linked transhydrogenase; NADPH:NAD+ oxidoreductase (B-specific); NAD(P)+ transhydrogenase (B-specific)

Systematic name: NADPH:NAD+ oxidoreductase (Si-specific)

Comments: The enzyme from Azotobacter vinelandii is a flavoprotein (FAD). It is Si-specific with respect to both NAD+ and NADP+.
