Overview
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is a critical coenzyme found in every living cell, serving as an essential cofactor for numerous metabolic reactions. This dinucleotide consists of two nucleotides joined through their phosphate groups, with one nucleotide containing an adenine base and the other containing nicotinamide.
**MECHANISM OF ACTION:** NAD+ functions as a crucial electron carrier in cellular metabolism, participating in over 500 enzymatic reactions. It serves as a substrate for sirtuins (SIRT1-7), poly-ADP-ribose polymerases (PARPs), and CD38, enzymes critically involved in DNA repair, gene expression regulation, and cellular stress responses. The NAD+/NADH ratio is a key indicator of cellular metabolic state and redox balance.
**RESEARCH APPLICATIONS:** - Sirtuin Activation Studies - Cellular Energy Metabolism Research - DNA Repair Mechanism Investigations - Mitochondrial Function Analysis - Circadian Rhythm Regulation Studies - Epigenetic Modification Research - Aging and Longevity Pathway Studies
**SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND:** Seminal research published in Cell, Nature, and Science has demonstrated the importance of NAD+ in cellular homeostasis. Studies from institutions including Harvard Medical School and MIT have explored NAD+ precursor supplementation and its effects on metabolic parameters. The "NAD World" concept describes the interconnected network of NAD+-consuming enzymes and their biological significance.
