Reaction: thioredoxin + NADP+ = thioredoxin disulfide + NADPH + H+
Glossary: The term 'oxidized thioredoxin' has been replaced by 'thioredoxin disulfide' as the former is ambiguous.
Other name(s): NADP-thioredoxin reductase; NADPH-thioredoxin reductase; thioredoxin reductase (NADPH); NADPH2:oxidized thioredoxin oxidoreductase
Systematic name: thioredoxin:NADP+ oxidoreductase
Comments: A flavoprotein (FAD).
