What labs study it for
Cell-energy research. Labs use it as a standard ingredient in enzyme tests and in studies of how cells produce energy, maintain their DNA, and regulate ageing-related enzymes called sirtuins.
What this compound is
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is not a peptide at all but a coenzyme: a small molecule present in every living cell, where it carries electrons between chemical reactions and serves as a substrate for enzymes including the sirtuins and PARPs. It is among the most studied molecules in cell biology and is used in laboratories as a defined reagent in enzyme assays and metabolic studies. Supplied as a research chemical; not approved for any medical use.
NAD+. Supplied lyophilized. Lot-specific HPLC and MS documentation accompanies each unit.
3D structure
Carbon in orange, nitrogen blue, oxygen red, sulfur yellow. Formula C21H27N7O14P2.
Structure from PubChem CID 5892.
Family

Included for completeness — a different class of molecule entirely.
NAD+ is not a peptide and has no amino acids in it. It is a coenzyme present in every living cell, carrying electrons between chemical reactions and acting as a substrate for enzyme families including the sirtuins and PARPs. It appears in this catalog as a standard laboratory reagent rather than as a member of any peptide family.
Fields of study
- Enzyme assays
- Redox metabolism
