Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** The NNMT gene is a human gene with an Ensembl ID of ENSG00000166741. It is involved in several metabolic pathways, including: 1. Metabolism of vitamins and cofactors 2. Metabolism of amino acids and derivatives 3. Metabolism of water-soluble vitamins and cofactors 4. Nicotinamide metabolic process 5. Nicotinamide n-methyltransferase activity 6. Nad biosynthesis via nicotinamide riboside salvage pathway The NNMT enzyme is a N-methyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from nicotinamide to various substrates, including nicotinamide riboside, nicotinic acid, and other compounds. This enzymatic activity is critical for the regulation of various cellular processes, including protein deacetylation, gluconeogenesis, and the salvage pathway of nicotinamide riboside. **Pathways and Functions:** The NNMT gene is involved in several key metabolic pathways, including: 1. **Nicotinamide Metabolic Process:** NNMT catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from nicotinamide to nicotinamide riboside, resulting in the formation of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN). NMN is a precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), which plays a critical role in energy metabolism and cellular homeostasis. 2. **Nad Biosynthesis via Nicotinamide Riboside Salvage Pathway:** NNMT is involved in the salvage pathway of nicotinamide riboside, which is a critical pathway for the regeneration of NAD+ from NMN. 3. **Metabolism of Vitamins and Cofactors:** NNMT is involved in the metabolism of various vitamins and cofactors, including nicotinic acid, pantothenic acid, and biotin. 4. **Metabolism of Amino Acids and Derivatives:** NNMT is involved in the metabolism of various amino acids and derivatives, including glycine, proline, and glutamine. **Clinical Significance:** The NNMT gene has been implicated in several diseases and conditions, including: 1. **Atherosclerosis:** NNMT has been shown to play a critical role in the regulation of lipid metabolism and the development of atherosclerosis. 2. **Type 2 Diabetes:** NNMT has been implicated in the regulation of gluconeogenesis and the development of type 2 diabetes. 3. **Cancer:** NNMT has been shown to play a critical role in the regulation of protein deacetylation and the development of cancer. 4. **Neurological Disorders:** NNMT has been implicated in the regulation of NAD+ metabolism and the development of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. In conclusion, the NNMT gene is a critical regulator of metabolic pathways and cellular processes, and its dysregulation has been implicated in several diseases and conditions. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of NNMT in human health and disease.
