NADH: A Key Player in Cellular Energy Production
β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (reduced form), or NADH, plays a central role in cellular metabolism and energy production. It is primarily generated during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, where it acts as a biohydrogen carrier and electron donor.
Within the inner mitochondrial membrane, NADH drives oxidative phosphorylation, facilitating ATP synthesis — the main source of cellular energy. Due to its mitochondrial activity, NADH is often referred to as the “mitochondrial coenzyme.” It is present in the mitochondria of both animal and plant cells.
NADH is essential for maintaining normal cellular functions, including cell growth, differentiation, energy metabolism, and cellular defense mechanisms.
