  2. Sodium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium

    Sodium is an alkali metal, being in group 1 of the periodic table. Its only stable isotope is 23 Na. The free metal does not occur in nature and must be prepared from compounds. Sodium is the sixth most abundant element in the Earth's crust and exists in numerous minerals such as feldspars, sodalite, and halite (NaCl).

  3. NAD+ kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAD+_kinase

    NAD+ kinase (EC 2.7.1.23, NADK) is an enzyme that converts nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD +) into NADP + through phosphorylating the NAD + coenzyme. [6] NADP + is an essential coenzyme that is reduced to NADPH primarily by the pentose phosphate pathway to provide reducing power in biosynthetic processes such as fatty acid biosynthesis ...

  4. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotinamide_adenine_di...

    Infobox references. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ( NAD) is a coenzyme central to metabolism. [3] Found in all living cells, NAD is called a dinucleotide because it consists of two nucleotides joined through their phosphate groups. One nucleotide contains an adenine nucleobase and the other, nicotinamide.

  5. North American Datum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Datum

    v. t. e. The North American Datum ( NAD) is the horizontal datum now used to define the geodetic network in North America. A datum is a formal description of the shape of the Earth along with an "anchor" point for the coordinate system. In surveying, cartography, and land-use planning, two North American Datums are in use for making lateral or ...

  6. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotinamide_adenine_di...

    Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, abbreviated NADP+ or, in older notation, TPN (triphosphopyridine nucleotide), is a cofactor used in anabolic reactions, such as the Calvin cycle and lipid and nucleic acid syntheses, which require NADPH as a reducing agent ('hydrogen source'). NADPH is the reduced form, whereas NADP + is the oxidized ...

  7. Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotinic_acid_adenine_di...

    Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) is a Ca 2+-mobilizing second messenger synthesised in response to extracellular stimuli.Like its mechanistic cousins, IP 3 and cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose (Cyclic ADP-ribose), NAADP binds to and opens Ca 2+ channels on intracellular organelles, thereby increasing the intracellular Ca 2+ concentration which, in turn, modulates sundry ...
