MeSH definition : An enzyme that catalyzes the formation of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) from nicotinamide
and 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate, the rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of
the NAD coenzyme. It is also known as a growth factor for early B-LYMPHOCYTES, or
an ADIPOKINE with insulin-mimetic effects (visfatin).;
