摘要
Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) from nicotinamide. In addition to its role as essential redox cofactor, NAD also functions as a substrate for NAD-consuming enzymes, regulating multiple cellular processes such as DNA repair and gene expression, fundamental to sustain energetic needs for tumor growth. In this sense NAMPT over-expression represents a common strategy that several tumor types adopt to sustain NAD production. In addition to its enzymatic role, NAMPT behaves as cytokine-like protein with pro-inflammatory function. Increasing evidence demonstrated that NAMPT inhibition represents a promising anti-cancer strategy to deplete NAD and impair cellular metabolism in cancer conditions.
