NAD+ diphosphatase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a NAD+ diphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.22) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- NAD+ + H2O AMP + NMN
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are NAD+ and H2O, whereas its two products are AMP and NMN.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides in phosphorus-containing anhydrides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is NAD+ phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide pyrophosphatase, NADP+ pyrophosphatase, and NADH pyrophosphatase. This enzyme participates in nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism.
