The inactivation of each enzyme is accompanied by metabolic changes specific to the affected enzyme and the related microbiological phenotype.

It acts directly by activating specific purinergic receptors or indirectly as a substrate for exonucleases (such as CD73, nucleotide pyrophosphatase\/phosphodiesterase 1, CD38 and its paralog CD157, and ecto-ADP-ribosyltransferases). These enzymes determine the availability of extracellular NAD by hydrolyzing NAD, thus regulating its direct signaling effect (Gasparrini M, 2021). In addition, they can generate smaller signaling molecules from NAD, such as the immunomodulator adenosine, or use NAD to ADP-ribosylate various extracellular proteins and membrane receptors, having a significant impact on immune control, inflammatory response, tumorigenesis, and other diseases. The extracellular environment also contains nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase and nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase, which catalyze key reactions in the NAD salvage pathway intracellularly. The extracellular forms of these enzymes act as cytokines with pro-inflammatory functions\u003csup\u003e[10]\u003c\/sup\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eIn conclusion, NAD+ has become a key molecule connecting health and disease by regulating energy metabolism, delaying aging, regulating immunity, and providing protection for multiple systems. Supplementing its precursors can improve mitochondrial function and slow down the progression of metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases.
