NMNAT is genetically required for glioma development and promotes glioma growth by allowing a higher tolerance to DNA damage and inhibiting DNA damage-p53-caspase-3 apoptosis signaling pathway by enhancing NAD+-dependent posttranslational modifications (PTMs) poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) and deacetylation of p53.
