Rabbit Anti-C9orf95/NRK antibody
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an essential cofactor involved in fundamental processes in cell metabolism. NRK1 (Nicotinamide riboside kinase 1), also known as Ribosylnicotinamide kinase 1, is a 199 amino acid enzyme is involved in the synthesis of NAD+ through nicotinamide mononucleotide using nicotinamide riboside as the precursor. Nicotinamide riboside has been idenitifed as a nutrient in milk, suggesting that it is a useful compound for elevating the NAD+ levels in humans. NRK1 also phosphorylates the anti-cancer drugs tiazofurin and 3-deazaguanosine, which converts them into toxic NAD+ analogs and leads to the inhibition of guanine nucleotide biosynthesis. There are two isoforms of NRK1 that are produced as a result of alternative splicing events.
Function:
Catalyzes the phosphorylation of nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinic acid riboside (NaR) to form nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and nicotinic acid mononucleotide (NaMN). The enzyme also phosphorylates the antitumor drugs tiazofurin and 3-deazaguanosine.
Subunit:
Monomer.
Similarity:
Belongs to the uridine kinase family. NRK subfamily.
