General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function the enzyme nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase 2 (NMNAT2) acts not only as a NAD synthase involved in axonal maintenance but as a molecular chaperone helping neurons to overcome protein unfolding and protein aggregation, molecular mechanism, overview. NMNAT2 acts as a molecular chaperone that cooperates with HSP90 to refold denatured proteins (foldase activity) and independently prevents protein unfolding (holdase activity). In vertebrates, the isoform NMNAT2, highly expressed in the brain, functions as a cytosolic protein bound to Golgi-derived vesicles through the palmitoylation of several cysteine residues. NMNAT2 seems to be essential for axonal growth or maintenance during embryogenesis. Enzyme NMNAT2 complexes with heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), an abundant and ubiquitous molecular chaperone that plays an essential role in maintaining protein homeostasis Homo sapiens
