Research overview
A central coenzyme in cellular redox systems.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide cycles between oxidized NAD+ and reduced NADH. Research examines how those pools support electron-transfer reactions and serve as substrates for NAD-consuming enzymes.
RedoxNAD+/NADH coupling supports electron transfer across many metabolic reactions.
SirtuinsNAD+ is consumed as a co-substrate by sirtuin deacylase enzymes.
PARPsPARP enzymes use NAD+ in ADP-ribosylation and related cellular signaling research.

Compound Profile & Technical Overview
NAD+ is the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a dinucleotide coenzyme present throughout biology. In redox reactions, NAD+ accepts a hydride equivalent to form NADH; it also functions as a consumed substrate for enzyme families including sirtuins, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases, and NAD glycohydrolases. Current research distinguishes nuclear, cytosolic, and mitochondrial NAD pools because localization can shape redox and signaling behavior.
