Although NAD+ is often grouped with peptides in the research-products market, NAD+ is not a peptide. It is a dinucleotide coenzyme composed of two nucleotides linked through phosphate groups: one containing adenine and the other containing nicotinamide.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide exists primarily as the oxidized form NAD+ and the reduced form NADH. This redox pair participates in electron-transfer reactions throughout cellular metabolism. NAD+ acts as an electron acceptor in oxidation-reduction reactions and is converted to NADH during that process.
In laboratory research, NAD+ is commonly investigated in connection with:
- cellular oxidation-reduction reactions;
- electron-transfer pathways;
- mitochondrial metabolism;
- biochemical energy transfer;
- enzyme systems that use NAD+ as a cofactor or cosubstrate.
Each vial contains 100 mg of NAD+ research material and is supplied in a 10 mL amber glass vial to help reduce exposure of the contents to light.
