Glutamate dehydrogenase from coelenterates NADP specific

Abstract
Glutamate dehydrogenases detected in tissue extracts of a broad sample of coelenterate species all require NADP(H) as a co‐substrate, rather than being capable of using either NAD(H) or NADP(H). In this respect, the coelenterate phyla appear to be unique in the animal kingdom.
