General Information
Term NAD+ biosynthetic process ID (Ontology) GO:0009435 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a coenzyme that interconverts with its reduced form, NADH, in many redox and catabolic reactions. NAD+ is derived from various sources including vitamin B3.[ PubMed:28648096 ]
Also Known As"NAD (oxidized) biosynthesis" ; "NAD (oxidized) biosynthetic process" ; "NAD (reduced) biosynthesis" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
