Nicotinate metabolism
The remaining large group of reactions enables the modulation of nicotinamide (NAM) levels and the regeneration of NAD+ from diverse metabolic intermediates. Enzymes that play central roles in these processes include nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), and nicotinate phosphoribosyltransferase (NAPRT1). These enzymes are poorly characterized in humans, despite their importance in NAM utilization (Magni et al. 2004). NAM levels are also regulated by nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), a potential regulator of diet-induced obesity (Kraus et al. 2014).
Reactions mediating parts of these processes but localized to the nucleus, mitochondria, and peroxisomes are also included in this pathway.
