NAD-linked enzyme

Molecular classification
Enzyme
01

Overview

NAD-linked enzymes are a class of enzymes that utilize nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) as a coenzyme in their catalytic activities. They are essential for cellular metabolism, particularly in redox reactions, energy production, DNA repair, and cell signaling. They use NAD⁺ or NADH to transfer electrons during metabolic reactions and are critical for processes such as glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, DNA repair via PARPs, and gene regulation via sirtuins. Reduced levels or dysregulation are linked to aging, neurodegeneration, metabolic disorders, and cancer.
