NAD+
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is an essential coenzyme present in all living cells, cycling between oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH) forms. It is a foundational molecule in cellular-energy research.
Key research areas
- Cellular energy metabolism
- Mitochondrial function
- DNA-repair pathways (PARPs)
- Sirtuin signaling
- Aging biology
Mechanism overview
NAD+ functions as an electron carrier in cellular respiration, participating in glycolysis, the citric-acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. It serves as a substrate for poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) linked to genomic maintenance and as an essential cofactor for sirtuin (SIRT1–7) enzymes that regulate gene expression. Research associates it with hundreds of enzymatic reactions across cellular metabolism.
