Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), particularly its active form β-NMN, is crucial for producing the coenzyme NAD and is important in various biological processes.
β-NMN has potential applications in anti-aging and treating metabolic diseases, prompting further research into its large-scale production.
The review focuses on the methods of synthesizing β-NMN, specifically biosynthesis due to its efficiency and fewer side effects, while also exploring ways to enhance production strategies through synthetic biology.
