<i>NAPRT</i> Expression Regulation Mechanisms: Novel Functions Predicted by a Bioinformatics Approach
The nicotinate phosphoribosyltransferase (<i>NAPRT</i>) gene has gained relevance in the research of cancer therapeutic strategies due to its main role as a NAD biosynthetic enzyme. NAD metabolism is an attractive target for the development of anti-cancer therapies, given the high energy...
