Description

NAD+

Synthetic dinucleotide coenzyme for in vitro research on cellular metabolism, redox balance, and sirtuin enzymatic signaling

Overview & Mechanism of Action (In Vitro)

NAD+ (β-Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is an essential cellular coenzyme composed of two nucleotides joined through their phosphate groups. In biochemical, molecular, and cellular research, it serves as a critical electron acceptor in redox reactions and an indispensable co-substrate for specialized enzyme families:

  • Coenzyme Function in Oxidation-Reduction Cascades: Investigating electron transfer in glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation via reversible transitions between oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH) states.
  • Activation of Sirtuin Enzyme Class (SIRT1–SIRT7): Monitoring NAD+-dependent deacylation and deacetylation of histone and non-histone proteins affecting epigenetic transcription and mitochondrial biogenesis in cell models.
  • PARP (Poly-ADP-Ribose Polymerase) Activity: Studying DNA double-strand break repair cascades and cellular responses to genotoxic stress, where NAD+ serves as an ADP-ribose donor.

Due to its chemical structure, the molecule in lyophilized form is sensitive to moisture and elevated temperatures, requiring strict control over pH and assay media temperature in experimental protocols to prevent spontaneous pyrophosphate bond hydrolysis.

Technical & Chemical Specifications
