NAD⁺, Free acid

NAD⁺ is a major electron acceptor molecule in biological oxidations. Acts as a coenzyme for hydride-transfer enzymes and a substrate for NAD(+)-consuming enzymes, which include ADP-ribose transferases, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases, cADP-ribose synthases and sirtuins. Recently reported to be a P2Y11 agonist.
