| Target/Description | NAD+ is a crucial molecule with far-reaching roles beyond its well-known function in energy metabolism. Primarily, it acts as a redox carrier, accepting hydride ions from metabolic pathways like glycolysis and the TCA cycle to form NADH, which then fuels ATP synthesis through OXPHOS. However, NAD+ also serves as a vital co-substrate for a diverse array of enzymes, including sirtuins and PARPs, influencing processes like DNA repair, epigenetic modification, inflammation, and circadian rhythm. Furthermore, recent discoveries highlight its function as a nucleotide analog in DNA ligation and RNA capping. Consequently, dynamic changes in NAD+ levels, driven by cellular stress, significantly rewire biological processes through the post-synthesis modification of DNA, RNA, and proteins, with NAD+ deficiency linked to various diseases, including metabolic disorders, cancer, and neurodegeneration. |
