Abstract To secure an adequate nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) supply for survival. organisms typically rely on two complementary mechanisms: the de novo synthesis pathway and the salvage pathway. Notably. the classic quinolinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase (QPRTase) for de novo NAD+ synthesis is absent in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. https://www.kingarte.com/product-category/food-servicecommercial-kitchen-equipmentfood-preparation-equipmentcommercial-meat-processing-equipmentmeat-cutters/
