Term ID

GO:0034628

Synonyms

• 'de novo' NAD biosynthetic process from 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.
