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
