Reaction: NAD+ + (ADP-D-ribosyl)n-acceptor = nicotinamide + (ADP-D-ribosyl)n+1-acceptor + H+

Other name(s): poly(ADP-ribose) synthase; ADP-ribosyltransferase (polymerizing); NAD ADP-ribosyltransferase; PARP; PARP-1; NAD+:poly(adenine-diphosphate-D-ribosyl)-acceptor ADP-D-ribosyl-transferase (incorrect); NAD+:poly(adenosine-diphosphate-D-ribosyl)-acceptor ADP-D-ribosyl-transferase
Systematic name: NAD+:poly(ADP-D-ribosyl)-acceptor ADP-D-ribosyl-transferase
Comments: The ADP-D-ribosyl group of NAD+ is transferred to an acceptor carboxy group on a histone or the enzyme itself, and further ADP-ribosyl groups are transferred to the 2'-position of the terminal adenosine moiety, building up a polymer with an average chain length of 20-30 units.
