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.

Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) and the PAR polymerases (PARPs) that catalyze its synthesis from donor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) molecules have received considerable attention in the recent literature. Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) plays diverse roles in many molecular and cellular processes, including DNA damage

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerization is a unique post-translation protein modification that utilizes an ADP-ribose moiety from NAD+ to form long and branched polymers attached via glutamic acid residues to nuclear acceptor proteins. The corresponding enzyme, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1), is a zinc finger-containing

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a post-translational modification of proteins. During this process, molecules of ADP-ribose are added successively on to acceptor proteins to form branched polymers. This modification is transient but very extensive in vivo, as polymer chains can reach more than
