NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a vital coenzyme in all living cells, essential for metabolic processes and cellular function. It acts as a mediator of redox reactions, alternating between its oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH) forms to facilitate electron transfer, crucial for energy production and sustaining life. Involved in over 500 enzymatic reactions, NAD+ is central to maintaining cellular homeostasis. Research shows that NAD+ may be beneficial in improving muscle function, protecting cells of the nervous system, and generally reducing the effects of aging.
Beyond energy metabolism, NAD+ supports DNA repair and gene regulation through enzymes like sirtuins and PARPs. Sirtuins use NAD+ to regulate cellular functions such as DNA repair, gene expression, and aging, while PARPs utilize it to repair DNA damage and maintain genomic stability. These roles underscore NAD+’s importance in cellular integrity and combating aging.
Description
NAD+, short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is the oxidized form of NADH. It’s main biological function is to carry electrons from one biochemical reaction to another, acting to shuttle energy within a cell and, in certain conditions, to extracellular locations as well. NAD+ also plays roles in enzyme activation/deactivation, posttranslational modification of proteins, and cell-to-cell communication. As an extracellular signaling molecule, NAD+ has been found to be released from neurons in blood vessels, the bladder, the large intestine, and from certain neurons in the brain.
