Function
Phosphorylates specifically NADH. Can phosphorylate NAD with a 100-fold decrease in efficiency compared to NADH. Prefers ATP as nucleoside triphosphate substrate. Can also utilize UTP, GTP and CTP. Key source of the cellular reductant NADPH which is an important antioxidant factor.
Similarity
Belongs to the NAD kinase family.
