1 Using a panel of antibodies to murine PBEF, we demonstrate in this work that, similarly to its microbial counterpart, the murine protein is a NAmPRTase, catalyzing the condensation of nicotinamide with 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate to yield nicotinamide mononucleotide, an intermediate in the biosynthesis of NAD. Niacinamide nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase Mus musculus
