Abstract:NAD glycohydrolases are the longest known enzymes that catalyze ADP-ribose transfer. The function of these ubiquitous, membrane-bound enzymes has been a long standing puzzle. The NAD glycohydrolase are briefly reviewed in light of the discovery by our laboratory that NAD glycohydrolases are bifunctional enzymes that can catalyze both the synthesis and hydrolysis of cyclic ADP-ribose, a putative second messenger of calcium homeostasis.Abbreviations NADase nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide glycohydrolase - NAD nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide - ADP-ribose adenosine diphosphoribose - cADPR cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose
Keywords:NAD glycohydrolases  cyclic ADP-ribose  ADP-ribose transfer  calcium homeostasis  nicotinamide adeniner dinucleotide
