NAD+
Also known as Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
Central redox coenzyme studied in mitochondrial function, sirtuin signalling, and aging research.
- Classification
- Dinucleotide coenzyme (not a peptide)
- Supplied form
- Lyophilized powder, research vial
- Storage
- Store lyophilized powder cold and dry, protected from light. NAD+ in solution is comparatively labile and is generally prepared fresh.
- Solubility
- Highly water soluble.
What NAD+ is
NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every living cell, functioning as an electron carrier in redox reactions and as a substrate for sirtuins, PARPs, and CD38.
Research context
Research examines cellular energy production, DNA-repair enzymes, mitochondrial biology, and the decline of NAD+ levels associated with aging.
Handling in the laboratory
Listed in 500mg and 1000mg research vials for laboratory workflows.
