Description | This family contains the adenylyltransferases for nicotinamide-nucleotide and for the deamido form, nicotinate nucleotide found predominantly in bacteria and fungi. Nicotinamide-nucleotide adenylyltransferase (NMNAT, ) [ ] synthesizes NAD by the salvage pathway, while nicotinate-nucleotide adenylyltransferase (NaMN-ATase, ) [ ] synthesizes the immediate precursor of NAD by the de novo pathway. | Name | Nicotinate/nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferase |
Short Name | NadD/NMNAT | Type | Family |
