Description
NAD⁺ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) – Research-Grade Coenzyme
NAD⁺ is a fundamental coenzyme present in every living cell, playing a central role in cellular energy metabolism and redox reactions. This molecule alternates between oxidized (NAD⁺) and reduced (NADH) forms, driving electron transfer processes essential to mitochondrial ATP synthesis and glycolysis.
NAD⁺ also acts as a key substrate for two critical enzyme families:
- Sirtuins – regulators of gene expression and metabolic pathways
- PARPs (poly-ADP-ribose polymerases) – mediators of DNA repair and cellular stress response
Researchers utilize NAD⁺ to explore mechanisms underlying mitochondrial function, skeletal muscle bioenergetics, neuronal protection, and age-related cellular decline.
For research purposes only. Not intended for human consumption.
