The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrolase (NADase) sterile alpha toll/interleukin receptor motif containing-1 (SARM1) acts as a central executioner of programmed axon …
Summary SARM1 is an NAD (P) glycohydrolase and TLR adapter with an essential, prodegenerative role in programmed axon death (Wallerian degeneration). Like other NAD …
SARM1, a protein with critical NADase activity, is a central executioner in a conserved programme of axon degeneration. We report seven rare missense or in-frame microdeletion …
The past 20 years of research on axon degeneration has revealed fine details on how NAD biology controls axonal survival. Extensive data demonstrate that the NAD precursor NMN …
