Reaction: NAD(H) + H2O = AMP + NMN(H)
Other name(s): NPY1 (gene name); nudC (gene name); NUDT7 (gene name); nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide pyrophosphatase; NADP pyrophosphatase; NADH pyrophosphatase; NAD+ phosphohydrolase
Systematic name: NAD(H) phosphohydrolase
Comments: This enzyme, described from plants, animals, and bacteria, can act on both reduced and oxidized forms of its substrate, although enzymes from different organisms have different preferences. Also acts on other dinucleotides, including NADP(H), FAD(H2), and the thionicotinamide analogues of NAD+ and NADP+.
