FADH2nél

FADH2nél is a term used in the field of biochemistry to describe the enzyme flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in its reduced form, FADH2. FADH2 is a cofactor that plays a crucial role in various biochemical reactions, particularly in the electron transport chain of cellular respiration. In this process, FADH2 donates electrons to the electron transport chain, facilitating the production of ATP, the primary energy currency of the cell. The reduction of FAD to FADH2 occurs during the oxidation of substrates in the Krebs cycle, a key metabolic pathway in cellular respiration. FADH2nél is also involved in other metabolic processes, such as the synthesis of certain amino acids and the degradation of fatty acids. Its ability to transfer electrons makes it an essential component in the maintenance of cellular energy balance and overall metabolic function.
