Description
General description
Pyridine nucleotides play an important role in metabolism and, thus, there is continual interest in monitoring their concentration levels. Quantitative determination of NAD+/NADH has applications in research pertaining to energy transformation and redox state of cells or tissue.
Pyridine nucleotides, including nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), are crucial in cellular metabolism, impacting how energy is processed and managed within cells. Monitoring the concentrations of NAD and its reduced form, NADH, is vital for understanding cellular energy dynamics and redox balance. NAD, functioning as a central electron carrier, alternates between NAD+ (oxidized) and NADH (reduced) forms, facilitating numerous metabolic reactions. This transformation is essential not only for redox reactions but also for other metabolic functions, such as ADP-ribosylation, which is crucial for regulating protein functions and DNA repair. Additionally, NAD+ acts as a substrate for sirtuins, which are important for energy metabolism and modulating oxidative stress. .

Biochem/physiol Actions
The NAD+/NADH assay kit is based on a lactate dehydrogenase cycling reaction, in which the formed NADH reduces a probe into a highly fluorescent product. The fluorescence intensity of this product, measured at λEx = 530 nm/λEm = 585 nm, is proportional to the NAD+/NADH concentration in the sample. This assay is highly specific for NAD+/NADH with minimal interference (Features and Benefits
