NAD+ 500mg Research Compound

NAD+ 500mg is a lyophilized preparation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, the dinucleotide coenzyme that serves as the principal electron carrier in cellular metabolism. It is not a peptide, and it sits in this catalog as a coenzyme rather than a signaling molecule — a distinction that determines the kind of research it supports.

Two roles, two literatures

NAD+ is studied along two largely separate lines. The first is its classical redox function, cycling between oxidized and reduced forms to shuttle electrons through glycolysis, the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. The second is its role as a consumed substrate rather than a recycled carrier: enzyme families including the sirtuins and the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases cleave NAD+ in the course of their activity, which ties cellular NAD+ availability to processes well outside energy metabolism.

That dual character is why laboratory interest spans redox biochemistry, enzyme-substrate kinetics, cellular energetics, and analytical work measuring NAD+ and NADH pools in cultured systems. Assay development is a common application — many enzymatic assays depend on NAD+ or NADH as a reporter, and reliable reference material is a prerequisite.

Why a 500mg vial

Coenzyme work consumes material at a different rate than peptide signaling studies. Assay development, standard curves and repeated analytical runs draw on far larger quantities than a receptor-binding experiment, and the 500mg presentation is sized accordingly — enough for sustained analytical work from a single documented lot.

Specifications

• Compound: NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)
• Label strength: 500mg
• Format: Lyophilized powder, high-capacity vial
• Class: Coenzyme / dinucleotide
• Intended use: Laboratory research only

Storage and handling

Store sealed, cool, dry and protected from light. NAD+ is hygroscopic and degrades in aqueous solution considerably faster than in the dry state, so the lyophilized powder should be kept sealed and dry until the point of use. Note the lot identifier for analytical traceability.
