Gene: NAMPT

Alternate names for this Gene: 1110035O14Rik|PBEF|PBEF1|VF|VISFATIN

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that catalyzes the condensation of nicotinamide with 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate to yield nicotinamide mononucleotide, one step in the biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. The protein belongs to the nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase (NAPRTase) family and is thought to be involved in many important biological processes, including metabolism, stress response and aging. This gene has a pseudogene on chromosome 10.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7q22.3

Description of this Gene: nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase

Type of Gene: protein-coding
