NAD kinase EC 2.7.1.23 catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to NAD⁺ to generate NADP⁺, which acts as an electron donor for biosynthetic reactions upon reduction. NADP⁺ is an essential coenzyme in metabolism and provides reducing power to biosynthetic processes such as fatty acid biosynthesis.

General description

NAD kinase is localized to mitochondria and cytosol. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 1p36.33.

Physical form
