- What It Is
- NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is the oxidized form of a ubiquitous cellular redox coenzyme. Research uses NAD+ to study energy metabolism, redox balance, and NAD+-dependent enzyme systems.
- Explanation
- In experimental systems, NAD+ participates in redox reactions central to energy metabolism and is used by NAD+-dependent enzymes such as sirtuins, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs), and CD38.
- Why It’s Researched
- NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is the oxidized form of a ubiquitous cellular redox coenzyme. Research uses NAD+ to study energy metabolism, redox balance, and NAD+-dependent enzyme systems. Research commonly examines NAD+/NADH redox cycling and NAD+-dependent enzymes including sirtuins, PARPs, and CD38, together with their roles in metabolism and cellular signaling.
- Storage Instructions
- Do not enter a specific temperature unless your supplier documentation or batch-specific records confirm it. Store and handle according to the instructions provided with the applicable batch documentation. Protect the material from excessive heat, light, moisture, contamination, and conditions that could compromise product identity or research integrity. Maintain appropriate laboratory records for receipt, storage, handling, preparation, testing, and disposal. For laboratory research only.
Once reconstituted, store at the verified temperature specified for the exact product or formulation when such guidance is available.
