NNMT catalyzes the methylation of NAM to 1-MNAM by using SAM as a co-substrate. Human liver NNMT has apparent Km values for NAM and SAM, of 430 and 1.8 M, respectively. 1-MNAM and SAH inhibit the...

Nampt heterozygous (Nampt +/-) female mice show impaired glucose tolerance due to a defect in GSIS. Primary Nampt +/- islets also show defects in NAD biosynthesis and GSIS.

Mar 23, 2017 · Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is a pleiotropic protein implicated in the pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome, aging, cancer, coronary heart diseases, diabetes,...

Inside the cell, NAMPT is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), an essential molecule involved in various biological processes such as energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cell signaling.

Sep 7, 2022 · This paper examines a number of cancer treatment methods which target NAMPT, including the usage of individual inhibitors, pharmacological combinations, dual inhibitors, and ADCs, all of which have demonstrated promising experimental or clinical results.

Sep 7, 2022 · NAMPT inhibitors are diverse anticancer medicines with significant anti-tumor efficacy in ex vivo tumor models. A few notable NAMPT specific inhibitors which have been produced include FK866, CHS828, and OT-82.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated the indirect association and direct biological functions of NAMPT in modulating cancer metastasis, proliferation, angiogenesis, cancer stemness, and chemoresistance to anticancer drugs.

Feb 2, 2024 · Transplantable MC38 mouse colon cancer cells and mice carrying a specific deletion of the Nampt gene in the myeloid compartment (Nampt f/f LysMCre +/−; mKO) were used to test myeloid-specific activity of NAMPT in tumor progression.

Jan 1, 2011 · Nampt plays an important role in the regulation of insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells. Nampt also functions as an immunomodulatory cytokine and is involved in the regulation of inflammatory responses.
