Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables NAD+ nucleosidase activity. Involved in several processes, including NAD catabolic process; regulation of dendrite morphogenesis; and regulation of synapse pruning. Acts upstream of or within regulation of neuron apoptotic process and response to glucose. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; microtubule; and mitochondrial outer membrane. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in cell surface and neuromuscular junction. Is expressed in immune system; nervous system; neural retina; and tongue. Orthologous to human SARM1 (sterile alpha and TIR motif containing 1).
