Shop All MP Biomedicals, Inc Productsβ-NAD occurs in living cells primarily in the oxidized state.
- Serves as a coenzyme of hydride-transfer enzymes in dehydrogenases, especially in the dehydrogenation of primary and secondary alcohols
- Usually acts as a hydrogen acceptor, forming NADH, which then serves as a hydrogen donor in the respiratory chain
- Used as a substrate for NAD(+)-consuming enzymes, which include ADP-ribose transferases, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases, cADP-ribose synthases and sirtuins
- Recently reported to be a P2Y11 agonist
