NAPRT Antibody / NAD Salvage Pathway Enzyme Antibody recognizes nicotinate phosphoribosyltransferase (NAPRT), a key enzyme in the Preiss-Handler pathway responsible for NAD biosynthesis from nicotinic acid (vitamin B3). NAPRT catalyzes the conversion of nicotinic acid to nicotinic acid mononucleotide, an essential intermediate in the production of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). As a central regulator of cellular NAD homeostasis, NAPRT supports numerous metabolic processes including energy production, DNA repair, oxidative stress responses and cellular signaling. Because NAD metabolism is fundamental to cell survival and proliferation, NAPRT has become an important target in studies of metabolism, aging and cancer biology. NSJ Bioreagents provides NAPRT antibodies for researchers investigating NAD biosynthesis and metabolic regulation.
NAPRT is expressed in many normal tissues but exhibits variable expression among different tumor types, making it an important biomarker in cancer research. Tumors that express high levels of NAPRT can utilize nicotinic acid to maintain intracellular NAD pools, whereas NAPRT-deficient cancers may depend more heavily on alternative NAD biosynthetic pathways. This metabolic distinction has generated significant interest in NAPRT as a predictive biomarker for therapies targeting nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) and related components of NAD metabolism. Accordingly, NAPRT Antibody reagents are widely used to evaluate protein expression in studies of metabolic vulnerabilities and therapeutic response.
Beyond oncology, NAPRT contributes to normal cellular metabolism by maintaining adequate NAD levels required for mitochondrial function, redox balance and the activity of NAD-dependent enzymes such as sirtuins and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases. Altered NAPRT expression has been investigated in inflammatory disorders, neurobiology and age-related diseases, where disturbances in NAD metabolism can influence tissue function and cellular resilience. As interest in NAD biology continues to expand, NAPRT remains an important molecular target for understanding metabolic adaptation and cellular homeostasis.
An NAPRT Antibody is a valuable reagent for detecting this NAD salvage pathway enzyme by Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry and related immunoassays. By enabling reliable analysis of protein expression and localization, an NAPRT Antibody supports investigations into NAD biosynthesis, nicotinic acid metabolism, cellular bioenergetics and metabolic disease.

Optimal dilution of the NAPRT Antibody / NAD Salvage Pathway Enzyme Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
E. coli-derived recombinant human protein (amino acids A69-Q480) was used as the immunogen for the NAPRT antibody.
After reconstitution, the NAPRT antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
