Description
Research Overview
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is an essential coenzyme found in all living cells and plays a central role in cellular energy metabolism, oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions, mitochondrial function, and enzymatic signaling. It is widely studied in laboratory research for its involvement in bioenergetics, DNA repair, cellular stress responses, aging biology, and metabolic regulation.
NAD+ is supplied by Marsden Research Labs exclusively for qualified laboratory research applications and is not offered for human or veterinary use.

Mechanism of Action
NAD+ functions as a critical electron carrier in oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions throughout cellular metabolism. It serves as a coenzyme for numerous enzymes involved in glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, and mitochondrial ATP production. Laboratory studies also investigate its role as a substrate for sirtuins, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs), CD38 enzymes, and other NAD+-dependent proteins involved in DNA repair, cellular signaling, stress responses, and metabolic regulation.
Because of its fundamental biological role, NAD+ is frequently investigated in mitochondrial biology, cellular bioenergetics, aging research, DNA repair, metabolic regulation, and redox signaling.
