Concept information

Preferred term

Nicotinamide-Nucleotide Adenylyltransferase  

Type

  • Topical Descriptor

Entry terms

  • Adenylyltransferase, ATP-NMN
  • Adenylyltransferase, Nicotinamide Mononucleotide
  • Adenylyltransferase, NMN
  • ATP NMN Adenylyltransferase
  • ATP-NMN Adenylyltransferase
  • Mononucleotide Adenylyltransferase, Nicotinamide
  • NAD Pyrophosphorylase
  • Nicotinamide Mononucleotide Adenylyltransferase
  • NMN Adenylyltransferase
  • Pyrophosphorylase, NAD

Scope note

  • An enzyme that catalyzes reversibly the transfer of the adenylyl moiety of ATP to the phosphoryl group of NMN to form NAD+ and pyrophosphate. The enzyme is found predominantly in the nuclei and catalyzes the final reaction in the major pathway for the biosynthesis of NAD in mammals.
