Identifier
Gene name (s) NMNAT1 , NMNAT2 , NMNAT3
Enzyme classification
EC, category 2.7.7.1 nucleotidyl transferase
Response type Transfer of an AMP molecule
Substrate Nicotinate / nicotinamide ribonucleotide + ATP
Products (Deamino-) NAD + + PP i

Nicotinamidmononukleotid adenylyltransferase (NMNAT) is the enzyme that the transfer of a molecule of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) at Nicotinamidmononukleotid (NMN) catalyzes . This is the final step in the biosynthesis of NAD . NMNAT is found in animals, bacteria, and some fungi. Most animals have two paralogous genes for this enzyme; humans and mice have three known, the translation products of which are located in different tissue types and cell compartments.

NMNAT isoforms

Catalyzed reaction

NaMN+ + PP iATP   Deamido-NAD

AMP (from ATP) is transferred to nicotinate ribonucleotide (NaMN), resulting in deamido-NAD + and diphosphate. Nicotinamide ribonucleotide (NMN) is also possible as a substrate.

More functions

There are indications of neuroprotective effects of NMNAT, which are independent of their enzyme function and indicate a role as a chaperone . NMNAT1 stimulates the activity of PARP-1 and binds to poly (ADP-ribose) .
