Abstract
The role of NAD in human erythrocytes is completely devoted to its function of cofactor in glicolysis and pentose shunt, mantaining the oxidoreductive state of the cells, since they lack mono- and poly- ADP ribosylations, and then its availability is absolutely necessary for cell survival.
