煙酸(na;煙酸)通過煙酸磷酸核糖基轉移酶(naprt;ec 2.4.2.11)轉化為na單核苷酸(namn),然后轉化為na腺嘌呤二核苷酸(naad),最后轉化為nicotinamide腺嘌呤二核苷酸(nad),在細胞氧化還原反應中起到輔酶的作用,是多種O型化合物的重要組成部分。f細胞代謝過程,包括應激反應(Hara等人,2007年)。
Nicotinic acid (NA; niacin) is converted by nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase (NAPRT; EC 2.4.2.11) to NA mononucleotide (NaMN), which is then converted to NA adenine dinucleotide (NaAD), and finally to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which serves as a coenzyme in cellular redox reactions and is an essential component of a variety of processes in cellular metabolism including response to stress (Hara et al., 2007).
