NAD: A Crucial Coenzyme in Cellular Metabolism
NAD, short for β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, also known as oxidized coenzyme I, is a vital coenzyme involved in numerous metabolic pathways. It serves as an essential electron carrier for various dehydrogenase enzymes, enabling redox reactions that are fundamental to cellular energy production.
NAD acts as a key link between the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and the respiratory chain by transferring hydrogen atoms, released during metabolic processes, to flavoproteins. This function makes NAD indispensable in bioenergetics and highlights its significant role in the biopharmaceutical industry.
