The Influence of Schwann Cell Metabolism and Dysfunction on Axon Maintenance
Main Points Sensory neurons depend on Schwann cells for survival. Schwann cells provide energy for axons dunng rapid firing or after injury. Dysregulated metabolism in Schwann cells can lead to the production of neurotoxic and axon degeneration. ABSTRACT Schwann cells are the glial cells in the peripheral nervous system responsible for the production ...

Partial Adenine Phosphoribosyltransferase Deficiency Detected by Ureterolithiasis.
A 30-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of recurrent ureterolithiasis. She was suspected of having adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) deficiency based on the presence of 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (DHA) crystals in her urinary sediment, infrared spectrophotometric analysis of the excreted stone, and then the definitive diagnosis by ...

De novo NAD+ synthesis is ineffective for NAD+ supply in axenically cultured Caenorhabditis elegans
To secure an adequate nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) supply for survival, organisms typically rely on two complementary mechanisms: the de novo synthesis pathway and the salvage pathway.

dGTP starvation in Escherichia coli provides new insights into the thymineless-death phenomenon.
Starvation of cells for the DNA building block dTTP is strikingly lethal (thymineless death, TLD), and this effect is observed in all organisms. The phenomenon, discovered some 60 years ago, is widely used to kill cells in anticancer therapies, but many ...

NMNAT1 inhibits axon degeneration via blockade of SARM1-mediated NAD+ depletion [PDF]
Overexpression of the NAD(+) biosynthetic enzyme NMNAT1 leads to preservation of injured axons. While increased NAD(+) or decreased NMN levels are thought to be critical to this process, the mechanism(s) of this axon protection remain obscure.

Mechanisms of the NAD+ salvage pathway in enhancing skeletal muscle function
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is crucial for cellular energy production, serving as a coenzyme in oxidation-reduction reactions. It also supports enzymes involved in processes such as DNA repair, aging, and immune responses.

NAMPT overexpression alleviates alcohol-induced hepatic steatosis in mice.
Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is a rate-limiting enzyme in mammalian nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)+ biosynthesis. Through its NAD+-biosynthetic activity, NAMPT influences the activity of NAD+-dependent enzymes, such as sirtuins.
