Overview
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a ubiquitous coenzyme present in all living cells. It is widely utilized in in vitro and laboratory‑based research involving redox reactions, mitochondrial bioenergetics, DNA‑repair pathways, and enzymatic regulation. NAD+ is of particular interest for studies examining its role as a substrate for sirtuins, PARPs, and CD38‑associated signaling mechanisms.
