β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrate has been used: to prepare NAD⁺ standard solution for a study on NAD⁺ metabolomicsas a component of MurI assay reaction partial mixture for glutamate racemase reactionas a component of a chromogenic staining solution to stain zebrafish embryos

Biochem/physiol Actions

Electron acceptor

β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (β-NAD) is a cofactor of alcohol dehydrogenase and acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in visceral smooth muscles. The NAD/NADH ratio has a role in the regulation of intracellular redox potential. It thereby influences metabolic reactions in vivo.

Other Notes

This is the common form of NAD.

Crystalline NAD contains less than 0.1% (w/w) residual organic solvent, is less hygroscopic and electrostatic, and is more stable at ambient temperature than amorphous NAD.
