NAD+
The central redox coenzyme underpinning modern cellular-energy and longevity research.
Get the full guide →Overview
NAD+ is not a peptide but a coenzyme — nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide — present in every living cell. It is included here as a core research material in cellular-energy and aging science.
Mechanism & receptor biology
It functions as an electron carrier in redox reactions and as a required substrate for sirtuins and PARP enzymes. Research explores how cellular NAD+ availability influences these signaling and DNA-repair pathways in model systems.
Research context
Used broadly in bioenergetics, sirtuin-biology and cellular-aging research as a fundamental reference cofactor.
