NAD

NAD

Svensk definition

Ett koenzym bestående av ribosylnikotinamid-5'-difosfat kopplat till adenosin-5'-fosfat med en pyrofosfatbrygga. Det är utbrett i naturen och ingår i en rad enzymreaktioner, i vilka det tjänar som elektronbärare genom att omväxlingsvis oxideras (NAD+) och reduceras (NADH).

Engelsk definition

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)
