The Substrate Specificity of Pigeon Liver NAD Kinase [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1969 The specificity of pigeon liver NAD kinase for both substrates and for divalent cations has been investigated. 2. The enzyme is activated by Mg++, Co++, Mn++, and Zn++ only: the ATP‐metal complexes have different Km, values but the maximum velocities of the reactions are the same. 3.

Molecular characterization of Escherichia coli NAD kinase [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 2001 NAD kinase was purified to homogeneity from Escherichia coli MG1655. The enzyme was a hexamer consisting of 30 kDa subunits and utilized ATP or other nucleoside triphosphates as phosphoryl donors for the phosphorylation of NAD, most efficiently at pH 7.5 and 60 °C.

Cryo-EM structure and regulation of human NAD kinase
Science AdvancesReduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) is a crucial reducing cofactor for reductive biosynthesis and protection from oxidative stress. To fulfill their heightened anabolic and reductive power demands, cancer cells must boost their NADPH production.

NAD+ Kinase as a Therapeutic Target in Cancer [PDF]
Clinical Cancer Research, 2016 Abstract NAD+ kinase (NADK) catalyzes the phosphorylation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) using ATP as the phosphate donor. NADP+ is then reduced to NADPH by dehydrogenases, in particular glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and the malic enzymes.

Astrocytes and Microglia Are Resistant to NAD+-Mediated Cell Death Along the ARTC2/P2X7 Axis
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2020 ADP-ribosylation of the P2X7k splice variant on mouse T cells by Ecto-ADP-ribosyltransferase ARTC2.2 in response to its substrate extracellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) triggers cell death. Since NAD+ is released as a danger signal during
