Function

NAD kinase (NADK) catalyzes the conversion of ATP and NAD to ADP and NADP. NADP is critical for metabolism, calcium signaling and anti-inflammatory processes. NADK is regulated by calmodulin-dependent mechanism[1]. See NAD and NAD(P)H.

Structural highlights

NADP is bound to NADK in a cleft between the N and C-terminal domains in the dimer interface[2].
