EXPRESSION AND REGULATION OF NAMPT IN HUMAN ISLETS.

Expression and regulation of nampt in human islets.

Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the mammalian NAD+ biosynthesis of a salvage pathway and exists in 2 known forms, intracellular Nampt (iNampt) and a secreted form, extracellular Nampt (eNampt).eNampt can generate an intermediate product, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), which has been reported to suppor

An HR-Induced Tobacco Peroxidase Gene Is Responsive to Spermine, but Not to Salicylate, Methyl Jasmonate, and Ethephon

In Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)-infected tobacco plants carrying the N resistance gene, a hypersensitive reaction or response (HR) occurs to enclose the virus in the infected tissue.Although a contribution of peroxidases to the resistance has been proposed, no evidence has been presented that tobacco peroxidase genes respond to HR.Here, we describe t
