NAD+
metabolic compound
NAD+ is a critical coenzyme essential for cellular bioenergetics and the maintenance of genomic integrity. It serves as a vital substrate for sirtuins and PARP enzymes, playing a fundamental role in systemic cellular health and age-related physiological processes.
Research Areas
Mechanism of Action
NAD+ functions as a redox coenzyme for mitochondrial ATP production and acts as a required substrate for enzymes involved in DNA repair and transcriptional regulation.
