Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.1.0)
Enables identical protein binding activity and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase activity. Involved in circadian regulation of gene expression; nicotinamide metabolic process; and nicotinamide nucleotide biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within NAD biosynthetic process. Located in cytoplasm. Is active in cytosol and mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in transient cerebral ischemia. Orthologous to human NAMPT (nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase).
