Gene Information

General description

Niacinamide, also known as 3-pyridinecarboxamide, is a water soluble vitamin. It is widely present in plants, animal food and cosmetics.

Application

Niacinamide has been used:
  • as a component of islet maturation culture media
  • to induce differentiation of insulin secreting cells
  • to compare its preclinical effectiveness with that of progesterone

Biochem/physiol Actions

Niacinamide is a primary precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), which is an important coenzyme in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. Nicotinamide deficiency is associated with pellagra.
