=== CD157 ===
* [[Wikipedia:NAD+ glycohydrolase|Wikipedia article]]
'''CD157''', also known as bone marrow stromal antigen 1 (BST-1), is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored NADase. It shares structural similarities with CD38 and is involved in monocyte and neutrophil infiltration during inflammatory responses.

=== SARM1 ===
'''SARM1''' (Sterile Alpha and TIR Motif Containing 1) is a recently characterized NADase. It plays a critical role in Wallerian degeneration, a process where damaged neurons degenerate. SARM1 is activated under conditions of cellular stress and can lead to rapid depletion of intracellular NAD+ levels.

These enzymes, by modulating NAD+ levels, indirectly influence the aging process, cellular repair mechanisms, and overall cellular health. Modulating the activity of these enzymes has become a focal point in longevity and aging research, targeting the restoration of cellular NAD+ levels to maintain cellular function and mitigate age-related decline.
