NAD+ is a coenzyme that interconverts with its reduced form, NADH, in many redox and catabolic reactions. nicotinamide nucleotide formation from aspartate MetaCyc:PYRIDNUCSYN-PWY nicotinamide nucleotide anabolism from aspartate biological_process 'de novo' NAD biosynthetic process from aspartate GO:0034628 'de novo' NAD biosynthetic process from L-aspartate nicotinamide nucleotide biosynthetic process from aspartate GO:0019355 MetaCyc:PWY-8352 MetaCyc:PWY-8277 nicotinamide nucleotide synthesis from aspartate de novo NAD biosynthetic process from aspartate This pathway is found in bacteria, Archaea and may also occur in plants.
