Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) has been known since a long period of time as co-factor of oxidoreductases. However, in the past couple of decades further roles have been assigned to NAD. Here, metabolism of NAD to the Ca(2)(+) mobilizing second messengers cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose, nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate and adenosine diphosphoribose is reviewed. Moreover, the mechanisms of Ca(2)(+) mobilization by these adenine nucleotides and their putative target Ca(2)(+) channels, ryanodine receptors and transient receptor potential channels are discussed. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Cofactor-dependent proteins: evolution, chemical diversity and bio-applications.
