Coenzyme
NAD+
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide
Research Use Only · Not for Human Consumption
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme present in all living cells. It functions as an electron carrier in cellular respiration and as a substrate for enzymes involved in DNA repair (PARPs), cell signaling (cADPR synthases), and gene expression regulation (sirtuins). NAD+ levels decline with age in multiple tissues, making its biosynthesis and supplementation pathways a major area of research.
