The chemical reactions and pathways involving reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), a coenzyme present in most living cells and derived from the B vitamin nicotinic acid. [GOC:jl, ISBN:0618254153]
The NADH metabolic process encompasses a series of biochemical reactions that involve the reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) to its reduced form, NADH. This process is central to cellular energy production, particularly in the context of aerobic respiration.
NADH is a crucial electron carrier, participating in various metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), and oxidative phosphorylation.
**Glycolysis:** During glycolysis, glucose is broken down into pyruvate, generating a small amount of ATP and reducing NAD+ to NADH. This NADH carries electrons to the electron transport chain.
**Citric Acid Cycle:** The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, further oxidizes pyruvate, producing more NADH and FADH2 (another electron carrier).
**Oxidative Phosphorylation:** In oxidative phosphorylation, NADH and FADH2 deliver electrons to the electron transport chain located in the mitochondrial inner membrane. As electrons move through the chain, they release energy, which is used to pump protons across the membrane, creating a proton gradient. This gradient drives the synthesis of ATP, the primary energy currency of cells.
**Other Roles:** Beyond energy production, NADH is involved in various cellular processes, including:
- **Redox reactions:** NADH serves as a reducing agent in anabolic pathways, facilitating the synthesis of biomolecules.
- **Signal transduction:** NADH can act as a signaling molecule, influencing gene expression and cell growth.
**Overall, the NADH metabolic process is an essential pathway for cellular energy production and other vital cellular functions.**'
