rat nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase
a 52 kDa protein; a growth factor for early B-LYMPHOCYTES; later identified to be nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase, an enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of nicotinamide with 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate yielding nicotinamide mononucleotide, the rate limiting step in the biosynthesis of coenzyme NAD
Also Known As:
nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase, rat; NAMPT protein, rat; NAmPRTase, rat; PDEF protein, rat; pre-B-cell colony-enhancing factor, rat; visfatin protein, rat
