Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable nicotinamide-nucleotide adenylyltransferase activity; nicotinate-nucleotide adenylyltransferase activity; and protein ADP-ribosyltransferase-substrate adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in NAD biosynthetic process and negative regulation of cytoplasmic translation. Predicted to act upstream of or within pyridine nucleotide biosynthetic process. Located in late endosome; synapse; and trans-Golgi network. Is expressed in alimentary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human NMNAT2 (nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferase 2).
