NADPase mainly exists in plant tissues and is the only enzyme in organisms that catalyzes the degradation
of NADP+ to NAD+. NADPase and NADK regulate the balance between NAD and NADP.
NADPase can catalyze the hydrolysis of NADP+ to NAD+ and inorganic phosphorus, the activity of
NADPaseis determined by determining the content of inorganic phosphorus.
