Cellular Energy Research Compound
NAD+ is a coenzyme that every living cell uses to convert nutrients into usable energy. Research centers on its core roles in metabolism, DNA repair, and aging — including how it fuels longevity-linked enzymes (sirtuins) and repair enzymes (PARPs). Because NAD+ levels decline with age, it is a frequent subject in cellular and metabolic research.
Type
Coenzyme (dinucleotide)
Molecular formula
C21H27N7O14P2
Molecular weight
663.43 g/mol
CAS number
53-84-9
A dinucleotide of nicotinamide mononucleotide linked to an adenine nucleotide. It functions as an electron carrier (NAD+/NADH redox pair) and as a substrate for NAD+-consuming enzymes including sirtuins, PARPs and CD38.
Research Focus
Studied in cellular-metabolism, redox-biology, DNA-repair and sirtuin/PARP-signaling research.
Lyophilized
-20°C long term
protect from moisture.
Reconstituted
-20°C
aqueous solutions are labile; prepare fresh; avoid freeze-thaw.
Hygroscopic; aqueous NAD+ degrades with time, heat and alkaline pH; prepare working solutions fresh.
