"Global metabolic profiling of those plasma samples revealed an error in metabolism related to nicotinamide N-methyltransferase ( #NNMT) activity."

"Here, nicotinamide is converted to either 1-methylnicotinamide by the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase ( #NNMT) or to nicotinamide mononucleotide ( #NMN) by nicotinamide phophoribosyltransferase ( #NAMPT)."

"Our findings showed that the patient’s nicotinamide N-methyltransferase ( #NNMT), a key enzyme in NAD(H) biosynthesis and methionine metabolism, was not functional under normal fed or fasting conditions but was restored in response to the nicotinamide challenge"
