| 1 | SARM1, an NAD-utilizing enzyme, regulates axonal degeneration. | NAD | sterile alpha and TIR motif containing 1 | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | We show that CZ-48, a cell-permeant mimetic of NMN, activated SARM1 in vitro and in cellulo to cyclize NAD and produce a Ca2+ messenger, cADPR, with similar efficiency as NMN. | NAD | sterile alpha and TIR motif containing 1 | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | Both catalyzed similar set of reactions, but SARM1 had much higher NAD-cyclizing activity, making it more efficient in elevating cADPR. | NAD | sterile alpha and TIR motif containing 1 | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | In SARM1-overexpressing cells, CZ-48 elevated cADPR, depleted NAD and ATP, and induced non-apoptotic death. | NAD | sterile alpha and TIR motif containing 1 | Homo sapiens |
