EC 3.1.3.108

Accepted name: nocturnin

Reaction: (1) NADPH + H2O = NADH + phosphate
(2) NADP+ + H2O = NAD+ + phosphate

Other name(s): NOCT (gene name); nocturnin (curled); MJ0109 (gene name); NADP phosphatase; NADPase

Systematic name: NADPH 2'-phosphohydrolase

Comments: The mammalian mitochondrial enzyme is a rhythmically expressed protein that regulates metabolism under the control of circadian clock. It has a slight preference for NADPH over NADP+. The archaeal enzyme, identified in Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, is bifunctional acting as NAD kinase (EC 2.7.1.23) and NADP+ phosphatase with a slight preference for NADP+ over NADPH.
