Identification
NameNicotinamidase
Synonyms
  • Nicotine deamidase
  • NAMase
Gene NamePNC1
Enzyme Class
Biological Properties
General FunctionInvolved in catalytic activity
Specific FunctionCatalyzes the deamidation of nicotinamide, an early step in the NAD(+) salvage pathway. Positively regulates SIR2-mediated silencing and longevity by preventing the accumulation of intracellular nicotinamide, an inhibitor of SIR2, during times of stress. Acts also on nicotinyl hydroxamate
