MeSH Heading: NAD
Tree Number(s): D03.633.100.759.646.138.694; D08.211.589; D13.695.667.138.694; D13.695.827.068.694
Unique ID: D009243
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D009243
Annotation: a coenzyme; NAD or NADP probably correct for indexing of pyridine nucleotides
Scope Note: A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-diphosphate coupled to adenosine 5'-phosphate by pyrophosphate linkage. It is found widely in nature and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in which it serves as an electron carrier by being alternately oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH). (Dorland, 27th ed)
Entry Term(s): Coenzyme I; DPN; Dihydronicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide; Diphosphopyridine Nucleotide; NADH; Nadide; Nicotinamide-Adenine Dinucleotide
Related Numbers: 4J24DQ0916; 53-84-9
CAS Type 1 Name: Adenosine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate), P'-5'-ester with 3-(aminocarbonyl)-1-beta-D-ribofuranosylpyridinium, inner salt
NLM Classification #: QU 135
