Background/Introduction: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD +) is a vital coenzyme found in all cells. As NAD+ is involved in redox reactions, it is found in two forms in cells. NAD+ is an oxidizing agent and becomes reduced to form NADH, which can be used as a reducing agent. As a result, it plays a key role in metabolism and other cellular processes. In organisms, NAD+ can be synthesized de novo from tryptophan or aspartic acid. Because of the wide variety of functions that NAD+ plays, it is a popular target for pharmaceuticals. NAD/NADH Microplate Assay Kit is based on a glucose dehydrogenase cycling reaction, in which the formed NADH reduces a formazan (MTT) reagent. The intensity of the reduced product color, measured at 570 nm, is proportionate to the NAD+/NADH concentration in the sample.
Samples: Urine, Serum, Plasma, Tissue extracts, Cell lysate, Cell culture media and Other biological fluids Samples.
