Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an important cofactor for oxidation-reduction reactions in mitochondria._x000D_ Application_x000D_ α-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (αNAD) may be used together with other NAD analogues to study the specificity and kinetics of NAD-dependent and NAD-transporting enzymes and proteins, such as NAD-glycohydrolase(s) and the mitochondrial NAD+ transporter in Saccharomyces cerevisiae._x000D_ α-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide has been used in superoxide dismutase activity of seminal plasma samples and in glutathione peroxidase assay of liver, kidney, testes and brain samples._x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 10, 25, 100, 250 mg in poly bottle_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ α-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (α-NAD) is a substrate for renalase. α-NAD, an analog of β-NAD, when used modulates kinetics of NAD dependent enzymes._x000D_ Other Notes_x000D_ α analog of β-NAD_x000D_ Caution_x000D_ This is not the common NAD required in the usual enzyme systems.
