5U2M, 5U2N - PubMed Abstract: 
Cancer cells are highly reliant on NAD + -dependent processes, including glucose metabolism, calcium signaling, DNA repair, and regulation of gene expression. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme for NAD + salvage from nicotinamide, has been investigated as a target for anticancer therapy ...
