Slc12a8 is a nicotinamide mononucleotide transporter that counteracts aging
NAD+ levels decline in multiple tissues over age, causing various age-associated pathophysiologies. Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is a key NAD+ intermediate that promotes NAD+biosynthesis and counteracts age-associated physiological decline. However, how NMN transport is regulated remains unknown. Here we report a novel NMN transporter encoded by the Slc12a8 gene. Slc12a8 is highly expressed and regulated by NAD+ in the small intestine. Knocking down this gene abrogates the transport of NMN...
