NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme central to cellular energy production. It is worth noting that NAD+ is technically a coenzyme, not a peptide, though it is commonly grouped with research compounds. It is studied in redox and enzyme research and supplied for research use only.
What NAD+ is
NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every living cell, where it plays a central role in the reactions that produce cellular energy. Unlike the peptides in this library, it is not a chain of amino acids; it is a different class of molecule, which is why it is described accurately as a coenzyme.
How it is studied
In the laboratory, NAD+ is studied in redox and enzyme research. As a research compound, it is a study tool and is not approved or intended for human use.
What to look for
As with any research compound, a research-grade NAD+ should ship with a batch-specific certificate of analysis documenting purity and identity.
Key takeaways
- NAD+ is a coenzyme central to cellular energy.
- It is technically a coenzyme, not a peptide.
- It is studied in redox and enzyme research.
- Research-grade NAD+ is supplied for research use only.
A note on research use
The peptides supplied by Axis Peptide Labs are reference compounds for laboratory and research use only. They are intended for qualified researchers working in academic, institutional, and analytical settings. They are not drugs, foods, cosmetics, or medical products, and they are not intended for human or veterinary consumption. Documented identity and documented purity are what matter most when sourcing a compound, both of which are published on the Axis certificates of analysis page.
