NAD

Product Overview

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a foundational cellular coenzyme found in all living cells, structured as a dinucleotide bound by phosphate groups. Serving as a crucial electron carrier in metabolic signaling cascades, this compound alternates between its oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH) states to mediate cellular energy orchestration, mitochondrial function, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis models.

In reference laboratory settings, NAD+ acts as an essential substrate for key enzyme families including sirtuins (SIRT) and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs). It is engineered and purified as a highly stable reference standard, critical for exploring oxidative phosphorylation modifications, metabolic cellular decay, and genomic maintenance pathways during in vitro molecular evaluations.

Laboratory Handling & Storage Guidelines

• Reconstitution: Reconstitute using sterile deoxygenated laboratory water or standard physiological saline solutions. Mix with a gentle circular motion; avoid aggressive vortexing to preserve optimal molecular matrix behavior.
• Long-Term Storage: Store the raw lyophilized powder desiccated at -20°C. Protect meticulously from moisture contamination, ambient humidity, and direct UV light exposure to avoid premature biochemical degradation.
• Solution Stability: Reconstituted liquid assays must be stored in working aliquots at -80°C for structural preservation. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles as aqueous solutions undergo gradual spontaneous hydrolysis.
