NMNAT1 catalyzes the formation of NAD+ from nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and ATP. Can also use the deamidated form nicotinic acid mononucleotide (NaMN) as substrate with the same efficiency. Interacts with ADPRT/PARP1. Protects against axonal degeneration following mechanical or toxic insults. Widely expressed with in brain, skeletal muscle, heart, liver, and kidney.
Sequence:
Human NMNAT1 (aa 2-279) is fused at the N-terminus to a His-tag.
Storage and Stability:
Short-term Storage: +4 degrees C
Long-term Storage: -20 degrees C
Working aliquots are stable for up to 3 months when stored at -20 degrees C.
