Note
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Product Description
Product Introduction
Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is a redox cofactor of flavoproteins, such as cytochrome-b5 reductase enzyme. With the help of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), FAD can be reduced to form FADH2.
Application
Flavin adenine dinucleotide disodium salt hydrate has been used as a component in the extraction buffer for plant tissue extraction. It has also been used to study its effects on infarct areas of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) induced mice.
Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is used as a redox cofactor (electron carrier) by flavoproteins including succinate dehydrogenase (complex), α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, apoptosis-inducing factor 2 (AIF-M2, AMID), folate/FAD-dependent tRNA methyltransferases, and N-hydroxylating flavoprotein monooxygenases. FAD is a component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
