Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a crucial coenzyme found in all living cells that plays fundamental roles in cellular metabolism and energy production. As an electron carrier, NAD+ participates in redox reactions throughout the metabolic network, particularly in glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
Our high purity NAD+ powder (CAS 53-84-9) is carefully processed to maintain optimal stability and biological activity. The product appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with 99% purity, making it suitable for various research applications in biochemistry, molecular biology, and metabolic studies.
NAD+ serves multiple essential functions in cellular processes including energy metabolism, DNA repair, calcium signaling, and gene expression regulation. It acts as a substrate for several important enzymes including sirtuins, poly-ADP-ribose polymerases (PARPs), and CD38/157 ectoenzymes.
In research settings, NAD+ is particularly valuable for studying cellular aging processes, mitochondrial function, and metabolic disorders. The coenzyme's ability to transfer electrons makes it indispensable for investigating redox reactions and energy transduction mechanisms.
For optimal preservation, store the NAD+ powder in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When properly stored, the product maintains stability for up to 24 months. The material is supplied in sealed containers to ensure maximum protection from moisture and oxidation.
This product is intended for research purposes only and not for human consumption. Proper laboratory safety protocols should always be followed when handling biochemical materials.
