UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q8BNJ3 (Q8BNJ3)
Gene Name:
Nmnat2
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse)
Function: Nicotinamide/nicotinate-nucleotide adenylyltransferase that acts as an axon maintenance factor (PubMed:20126265, PubMed:23082226). Axon survival factor required for the maintenance of healthy axons: acts by delaying Wallerian axon degeneration, an evolutionarily conserved process that drives the loss of damaged axons (PubMed:20126265, PubMed:23082226, PubMed:25818290). Catalyzes the formation of NAD(+) from nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and ATP (By similarity). Can also use the deamidated form; nicotinic acid mononucleotide (NaMN) as substrate but with a lower efficiency. Cannot use triazofurin monophosphate (TrMP) as substrate (By similarity). Also catalyzes the reverse reaction, i.e. the pyrophosphorolytic cleavage of NAD(+). For the pyrophosphorolytic activity prefers NAD(+), NADH and NaAD as substrates and degrades nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NHD) less effectively (By similarity). Fails to cleave phosphorylated dinucleotides NADP(+), NADPH and NaADP(+) (By similarity). Also acts as an activator of ADP-ribosylation by supporting the catalytic activity of PARP16 and promoting mono-ADP-ribosylation of ribosomes by PARP16 (By similarity). May be involved in the maintenance of axonal integrity (PubMed:22425156)
