Function
Catalyzes the deamidation of nicotinamide, an early step in the NAD(+) salvage pathway. Positively regulates SIR2-mediated silencing and longevity by preventing the accumulation of intracellular nicotinamide, an inhibitor of SIR2, during times of stress. Also acts on nicotinyl hydroxamate.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm; Nucleus; Peroxisome
Pathway: Cofactor biosynthesis; nicotinate biosynthesis; nicotinate from nicotinamide: step 1/1
