Description
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme central to metabolism. Found in all living cells, NAD+ is called a dinucleotide because it consists of two nucleotides joined through their phosphate groups. It exists in two forms: an oxidized and reduced form, abbreviated as NAD+ and NADH respectively.
Research Applications
-
Mitochondrial Health: NAD+ plays a key role in the transfer of electrons in redox reactions, making it vital for mitochondrial research.
-
Sirtuin Activation: Research has identified NAD+ as a necessary substrate for sirtuins (SIRT1-7), a family of proteins that regulate cellular health and aging pathways.
-
DNA Repair: It is a substrate for poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs), which are involved in DNA repair and genomic stability.
Stability & Storage NAD+ is sensitive to light and moisture. Our vials are lyophilized and vacuum-sealed to prevent degradation. Store at -20°C upon receipt.
