In enzymology, a NAD synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, deamido-NAD, and NH3, whereas its 3 products are AMP, diphosphate, and NAD.
This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds as acid-D-ammonia ligases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is deamido-NAD:ammonia ligase. Other names in common use include NAD synthetase, NAD synthase, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide synthetase, and diphosphopyridine nucleotide synthetase. This enzyme participates in nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism and nitrogen metabolism.
