NMRK2 Gene

nicotinamide riboside kinase 2

Enables ribosylnicotinamide kinase activity and ribosylnicotinate kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in NAD metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of myoblast differentiation. Located in nucleoplasm and plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

NMRK1 Gene

nicotinamide riboside kinase 1

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is essential for life in all organisms, both as a coenzyme for oxidoreductases and as a source of ADP-ribosyl groups used in various reactions. Nicotinic acid and nicotinamide, collectively known as niacin, are the vitamin precursors of NAD+. Nicotinamide riboside kinases, such as NRK1, function to synthesize NAD+ through nicotinamide mononucleotide using nicotinamide riboside as the precursor (Bieganowski and Brenner, 2004 [PubMed 15137942]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
