The actual concentration of NAD + in cell cytosol is harder to measure, with recent estimates in animal cells ranging around 0.3 mM, [18] [19] and approximately 1.0 to 2.0 mM in yeast. [20] However, more than 80% of NADH fluorescence in mitochondria is from bound form, so the concentration in solution is much lower. [21]
Cellular respiration is a vital process that occurs in the cells of all [[plants and some bacteria ]]. [ 2 ] [ better source needed ] Respiration can be either aerobic, requiring oxygen, or anaerobic; some organisms can switch between aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

The glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle is a mechanism used in skeletal muscle and the brain [1] that regenerates NAD + from NADH, a by-product of glycolysis. NADH is a reducing equivalent that stores electrons generated in the cytoplasm during glycolysis. NADH must be transported into the mitochondria to enter the oxidative phosphorylation pathway.
The mitochondrial shuttles are biochemical transport systems used to transport reducing agents across the inner mitochondrial membrane. NADH as well as NAD+ cannot cross the membrane, but it can reduce another molecule like FAD and [QH 2] that can cross the membrane, so that its electrons can reach the electron transport chain.
In enzymology, a NAD + synthetase (EC 6.3.1.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction. ATP + deamido-NAD + + NH 3 AMP + diphosphate + NAD +. The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, deamido-NAD +, and NH 3, whereas its 3 products are AMP, diphosphate, and NAD +.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, abbreviated NADP [1] [2] or, in older notation, TPN (triphosphopyridine nucleotide), is a cofactor used in anabolic reactions, such as the Calvin cycle and lipid and nucleic acid syntheses, which require NADPH as a reducing agent ('hydrogen source').
