Notes: 3-Acetylpyridine NAD (APAD) is an analog of NAD+ (free acid) (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide; Item No. 16077), a signaling molecule and cofactor or substrate for many enzymes.{20368,34523} APAD has been used to study the mechanisms of oxidative phosphorylation.{34522} It can be reduced by transdehydrogenase from NADH (sodium salt) (Item No. 16078).{34525} It can be reduced more efficiently and is more stable than NAD+; thus, it is useful as a substitute.{34524}
