Application
As a reagent, NADH can be used in enzyme cycling assays to amplify detection of activity of biologically relevant enzymes or metabolites present in low concentrations.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and NADH form a redox pair. NAD/NADH is a coenzyme that supports redox reactions via the transport of electrons in a vast array of applications. NAD is also involved in post-translational (Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerization) modifications of proteins.
Biochem/physiol Actions
NADH is a coenzyme that functions as a regenerating electron donor in catabolic processes including glycolysis, β-oxidation and the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle, TCA cycle). It participates in cell signaling events as well, for example as a substrate for the poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) during the DNA damage response. The NAD+/NADH dependent sirtuins play key roles in stress responses during events involving energy metabolism, with implications in cancer biology, diabetes and neurodegenerative disease.
