Term Name: NAD+ biosynthetic process
Synonyms: NAD (oxidized) biosynthesis, NAD (oxidized) biosynthetic process, NAD (reduced) biosynthesis, NAD (reduced) biosynthetic process, NAD anabolism, NAD biosynthesis, NAD biosynthetic process, NAD formation, NAD synthesis, NADH biosynthesis, NADH biosynthetic process, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide biosynthesis, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide biosynthetic process, oxidized NAD biosynthesis, oxidized NAD biosynthetic process, oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide biosynthesis, oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide biosynthetic process, reduced NAD biosynthesis, reduced NAD biosynthetic process, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide biosynthesis, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide biosynthetic process
Definition: The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a coenzyme that interconverts with its reduced form, NADH, in many redox and catabolic reactions. NAD+ is derived from various sources including vitamin B3.
