pncB

pncB encodes for the enzyme NAPRTase (nicotinic acid phosphoribosyl-transferase). It catalyzes the formation of nicotinate mono-nucleotide, a direct precursor of NAD, from NA.[1] [2] [3].

Usage and Biology

FIGURE 1. Biochemical pathway of NAD synthesis. PncB gene encodes the transcription of the NARPTase which catalyzes the formation of nicotinate mono-nucleotide from nicotinic acid. This is considered the limiting step of the synthesis of NAD.
