NAD+

Central coenzyme in cellular redox reactions and energy metabolism research.

Classification

NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is a coenzyme found in all living cells and is not a peptide.

Molecular Notes

NAD+ cycles between oxidized and reduced forms and participates in electron transfer reactions. It is also involved in enzyme systems linked to cellular repair and signaling.

Research Context

Referenced in research on mitochondrial function, redox balance, and enzyme families involved in cellular stress response.
