Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide

NAD zwitterion is a NAD. Among its listed roles, it functions as a geroprotector. Functionally, it is related to deamido-NAD zwitterion. It is the conjugate base of NAD(+). A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5′-diphosphate coupled to adenosine 5′-phosphate by pyrophosphate linkage. It is found widely in nature and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in which it serves as an electron carrier by being alternately oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH). It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Coenzymes. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a natural source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include NAD+, Nadide, β-NAD, Enzopride, codehydrogenase and coenzyme I. Its PubChem CID is 5892.
