All cells require sustained intracellular energy flux, which is driven by redox chemistry at the subcellular level. NAD<sup>+</sup>, its phosphorylated variant NAD(P)<sup>+</sup>, and its reduced forms NAD(P)/NAD(P)H are all redox cofactors with key roles in energy metabolism and are substrates for several NAD-consuming enzymes (<i>e.g.</i> poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases, sirtuins, and others). The nicotinamide salvage pathway, constituted by nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase (NMNAT) ...[more]
