Descriptor nicotinamida fosforribosiltransferasa
Entry term(s) factor de crecimiento de colonias de células pre-B
visfatina
Scope note: Enzima que cataliza la formación de nicotinamida mononucleótido (NMN) a partir de la nicotinamida y 5-fosforribosil-1-pirofosfato, la etapa limitante en la biosíntesis de la coenzima NAD. Se la conoce también como un factor de crecimiento de los LINFOCITOS B tempranos, o como una ADIPOCINA con efectos insulinomiméticos (visfatina)

Tree number(s): D08.811.913.400.725.575
RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D054409
Scope note: An enzyme that catalyzes the formation of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) from nicotinamide and 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate, the rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of the NAD coenzyme. It is also known as a growth factor for early B-LYMPHOCYTES, or an ADIPOKINE with insulin-mimetic effects (visfatin).
