Molecular function

Exact synonym

adrenodoxin-type ferredoxin reductase activity

Description

Catalysis of the reaction: oxidized adrenodoxin + NADPH + H+ = reduced adrenodoxin + NADP+.

Related synonym

NADPH:adrenodoxin oxidoreductase activity

Comment

Note that this term specifically refers to the reaction proceeding in the direction shown; under physiological conditions adrenodoxin reduction by adrenodoxin reductase is coupled with electron transfer from AdR to P450, which catalyzes an irreversible monooxygenation reaction. This term should therefore be used to annotate gene products that catalyze the reduction of oxidized adrenodoxin; also consider annotating to the molecular function term 'ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase activity ; GO:0004324'.
