Nampt - nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase

Enables identical protein binding activity and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase activity. Involved in circadian regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within NAD biosynthetic process and circadian rhythm. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in transient cerebral ischemia. Orthologous to human NAMPT (nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
