Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+ or in older notation DPN+) is an important coenzyme found in cells. It plays key roles as a carrier of electrons and a participant in metabolic redox reactions, as well as in cell signaling. There are two forms of this coenzyme in cells, NAD+ and the phosphorylated form NADP⁺. These two related coenzymes have similar chemistry, but perform different roles in metabolism. When both coenzymes are being discussed, they are referred to collectively as NAD(P)+.
