Product Description
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is an essential coenzyme found in all living cells. It is critical for cellular energy production and metabolic function, existing in two forms: NAD+ (the oxidized form) and NADH (the reduced form). NAD+ plays a central role as a crucial cofactor for numerous enzymes, including sirtuins and PARPs, which are involved in cellular signaling, DNA repair, and gene expression.
This high-purity NAD+ powder is intended for scientific research into cellular metabolism and biochemical pathways.
Scientific Research Applications
NAD+ is one of the most intensively studied molecules in aging research, metabolism, and cellular biology. Scientists use it in laboratory settings to investigate the fundamental mechanisms of cellular health and longevity.
Key research areas include:
- Metabolic Studies: Research investigates NAD+'s role in regulating major metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation in cell cultures and animal models.
- Aging Research: Studies explore how NAD+ levels decline with age and the potential impact of this decline on cellular senescence and age-related decline in various tissues.
- DNA Repair Mechanisms: Researchers investigate NAD+'s function as a substrate for poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs), enzymes essential for repairing damaged DNA.
- Mitochondrial Function: Experimental studies examine how NAD+ influences mitochondrial dynamics and energy production efficiency in lab models.
