About

• The NADPH-dependent cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) is a membrane bound protein localized in the ER membrane. CPR is a multidomain protein with three cofactor binding domains (FMN, FAD and NADPH) and a linker domain situated between the FMN and FAD/NADPH domains. CPR donates electrons from the two-electron donor NADPH to the heme of P450 in a coupled two-step reaction as illustrated in picture below. NADPH binds to the NADPH-binding domain and electrons are shuttled from NADPH through FAD and FMN to the P450 heme. Please see the CPR structure below, color correlated with the reaction mechanism to its right.
