NAD (abbreviated as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a hydrogen acceptor essential as reductant (that is, to receive hydrogen) in certain reactions in which it is decreased and transformed into NADH2. Throughout glycolysis two NAD molecules recover hydrogen discharged after an intermediate reaction therefore forming NADH2.
