NAD+

Molecular Formula: C₂₁H₂₇N₇O₁₄P₂ · 663.43 g/mol

Description: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is the oxidized form of a pyridine dinucleotide coenzyme that serves as a central electron-accepting cofactor in cellular redox reactions. In biochemical and metabolic research models, it is investigated for its role in oxidoreductase-catalyzed hydride transfer, mitochondrial energy metabolism, and as a rate-limiting substrate for sirtuin, PARP, and CD38 enzyme families. It is frequently studied to characterize NAD+/NADH ratio dynamics, cellular bioenergetics, and pathways implicated in oxidative stress and aging signaling.
