β-Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, MP Biomedicals™

Description

Acts as a major electron acceptor molecule in biological oxidations. β-Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, MP Biomedicals serves as a coenzyme of the dehydrogenases and acts as a hydrogen acceptor. β-NAD is one of the biologically active forms of

β-NAD occurs in living cells primarily in the oxidized state.

• Serves as a coenzyme of hydride-transfer enzymes in dehydrogenases, especially in the dehydrogenation of primary and secondary alcohols
• Usually acts as a hydrogen acceptor, forming NADH, which then serves as a hydrogen donor in the respiratory chain
• Used as a substrate for NAD(+)-consuming enzymes, which include ADP-ribose transferases, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases, cADP-ribose synthases and sirtuins
• Recently reported to be a P2Y11 agonist
