Summary: | The medical significance of NAD+-dependent metabolic regulation acquires increasing attention, demanding rapid and clinically feasible quantification of NAD+ in complex biological samples. Here we describe the usage of formate dehydrogenase for a straightforward and highly specific fluorometric assay of NAD+ in tissue extracts, not requiring chromatographic separation of nucleotides. The assay employs the irreversible reaction of formate oxidation coupled to NAD+ reduction, catalyzed by the enzyme which has high affinity and specificity to NAD+, and is stable under a variety of conditions. The assay reliably quantifies NAD+ in the methanol extracts of the rat brain cortex and mitochondria.
•Formate dehydrogenase allows for accurate NAD+ assay from 5 to 60 pmol.•Formate dehydrogenase reaction is irreversible, rapid and artifact-prone.•Quantified NAD+ in the lipid-rich extracts of the rat brain is 75 nmol/g of tissue. |
