Message definition (Riboflavin)
===Redox reactions===
[[Redox|Redox reactions]] are processes that involve the [[electron transfer|transfer of electrons]]. The flavin coenzymes support the function of roughly 70-80 flavoenzymes in humans (and hundreds more across all organisms, including those encoded by [[Archaea|archeal]], bacterial and fungal [[genome]]s) that are responsible for one- or two-electron redox reactions which capitalize on the ability of flavins to be converted between oxidized, half-reduced and fully reduced forms. FAD is also required for the activity of [[glutathione reductase]], an essential enzyme in the formation of the [[Endogeny (biology)|endogenous]] [[antioxidant]], [[glutathione]].

FAD is also required for the activity of glutathione reductase, an essential enzyme in the formation of the endogenous antioxidant, glutathione.
