Nicotinate Phosphoribosyltransferase Domain Containing 1 (NAPRT1) (Active) protein
Description
Nicotinate Phosphoribosyltransferase (NAPRTase) is involved in the biological processes of pyridine nucleotide biosynthesis and nicotinate nucleotide salvage and functions by catalyzing the conversion of nicotinic acid (NA) to NA mononucleotide (NaMN). It is a crucial factor in the NAD+ biosynthesis pathway. Catalytic activity: Beta-nicotinate D-ribonucleotide + diphosphate = nicotinate + 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate.
