NADase (or NAD+ase) refers to a group of enzymes playing a pivotal role in cellular longevity and aging due to its direct implication in the modulation of [[NAD+]] levels within the cell. NAD+, or Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, is a crucial coenzyme that participates in numerous metabolic and cellular processes, including energy metabolism, DNA repair, and the regulation of cellular aging. Elevated NADase activity can lead to decreased NAD+ levels, affecting cellular metabolism, reducing energy production, and potentially accelerating aging processes and age-related diseases. | NADase (or NAD+ase) refers to a group of enzymes playing a pivotal role in cellular longevity and aging due to its direct implication in the modulation of [[NAD+]] levels within the cell.

Reducing NADase enzymes by corresponding inhibitors is a way to boost NAD+ levels (see [[NAD+ Booster]]). | |||
