NAD glycohydrolases and the metabolism of cyclic ADP-ribose

Biochimie. 1995;77(5):341-4. doi: 10.1016/0300-9084(96)88144-2.

Abstract

Cyclic ADP-ribose is a recently discovered metabolite of NAD that functions in cellular calcium signalling. The discovery that NAD glycohydrolases can catalyze the synthesis and hydrolysis of cyclic ADP-ribose has renewed interest in this class of ADP-ribose transferring enzymes that were discovered over 50 years ago.
