The functional cofactors derived from vitamin B3 are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD<sup>+</sup>), its phosphorylated form, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP<sup>+</sup>) and their reduced forms (NAD(P)H). These cofactors, together referred as the NAD(P)(H) pool, are intimately implicated in all essential bioenergetics, anabolic and catabolic pathways in all forms of life. This pool also contributes to post-translational protein modifications and second messenger generatio ...[more]
