ABSTRACT
Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) is also called visfatin or pre-B-cell colony-enhancing factor. The functions of Nampt have been reported as a cytokine, an adipokine and the rate-limiting enzyme in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide biosynthesis. As a pleiotropic multifunctional protein, Nampt is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological conditions including innate immunity, metabolic disorders, and stress; and Nampt also participates in inflammatory disorders such as acute lung injury, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarct, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis. The studies indicate that Nampt might be a potential target for pharmacological intervention against inflammatory diseases. We review research advances on the roles of Nampt in inflammation.
