| Term Name: | 'de novo' NAD+ biosynthetic process from L-aspartate |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | 'de novo' NAD biosynthetic process from aspartate, 'de novo' NAD biosynthetic process from L-aspartate, de novo NAD biosynthetic process from aspartate, nicotinamide nucleotide anabolism from aspartate, nicotinamide nucleotide biosynthetic process from aspartate, nicotinamide nucleotide formation from aspartate, nicotinamide nucleotide synthesis from aspartate |
| Definition: | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), beginning with the catabolism of L-aspartate into the precursor quinolinate. NAD+ is a coenzyme that interconverts with its reduced form, NADH, in many redox and catabolic reactions. |
