Nicotinamide Nucleotide Adenylyltransferase 1 (NMNAT1) (AA 1-279) protein (His tag)
Description
NMNAT1 enzyme is vital for NAD biosynthesis, catalyzing the condensation of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) or nicotinic acid mononucleotide (NaMN) with the AMP moiety of ATP to form NAD or NaAD. NMNAT1 is widely expressed with high levels in skeletal muscle, heart, liver and kidney. This protein appears to have the ability to protect against axonal degeneration following mechanical or toxic insults Synonyms: NMNAT, NMNAT1, PNAT1, Nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase 1, NMN adenylyltransferase 1, Nicotinate-nucleotide adenylyltransferase 1, NaMN adenylyltransferase 1, EC=2.7.7.1, EC=2.7.7.18
