Schematics of NMNAT as a key node between pTau homeostasis and NAD+ metabolism.

NMNAT functions as both an NAD+ synthase involved in NAD+ metabolism, and a chaperone-like protein assisting the clearance of pathological pTau deposition. During aging, as the levels of ATP and NMN decrease, the chaperone-like function of NMNAT may show up to antagonize pTau aggregation.
