NAD+
For Research Use Only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Product Overview
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a ubiquitous coenzyme found in all living cells, serving as a central cofactor in cellular redox reactions and as a substrate for key regulatory enzymes including sirtuins (SIRTs) and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs). It belongs to the pyridine nucleotide coenzyme class and is a fundamental research tool in metabolism, aging biology, and DNA repair pathway studies. This research-grade lyophilized material is supplied exclusively for in-vitro and laboratory investigation.

Research Background
NAD+ occupies a central position in cellular metabolism as an electron carrier in oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis, cycling between its oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH) forms. Beyond its redox function, research has extensively characterized NAD+ as a substrate consumed by sirtuin deacylases (SIRT1–SIRT7) and PARP enzymes (PARP1, PARP2) — families of proteins studied for their roles in gene silencing, DNA damage response, and metabolic regulation. Published studies have documented that intracellular NAD+ availability directly influences the catalytic activity of these enzyme classes in cell culture systems.
A substantial body of research has examined the relationship between NAD+ levels and aging-associated cellular changes. Studies in yeast, worm, and rodent models have investigated how declining NAD+ availability with age correlates with changes in mitochondrial function, sirtuin activity, and DNA repair capacity. These investigations have utilized exogenous NAD+ supplementation in in-vitro and ex-vivo systems to explore whether restoring NAD+ pools influences cellular markers associated with metabolic and aging research endpoints.
Research has also employed NAD+ in PARP pathway studies, particularly in the context of genotoxic stress and DNA strand-break repair. Cell-based models using NAD+ depletion and repletion approaches have been used to investigate PARP-1 activation dynamics, PAR chain synthesis, and energy crisis mechanisms in stressed cellular systems. The lyophilized form supplied by Glunova Biotech is designed for in-vitro reconstitution studies requiring precise, research-grade NAD+ preparations with verified purity for enzymatic and cell-based assays.
