Application

FAD is used to remove reactive oxygen species (ROS) from mammalian cells. The fluorescence mechanism of FAD is used to study energy-dependent intramitochondrial redox potential. FAD is used as a predominant fluorophore to study unstained eosinophils, which exhibit autofluorescence compared to other leucocytes.
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.

General description

Flavin adenine dinucleotide disodium salt hydrate (FAD-Na2) is an adenine-containing enzymatic redox cofactor. Also known as flavin cofactors, FAD is critical electron transporter in living systems. They catalyze several 1-2 electron redox reactions. e.g., β-oxidation of fatty acids occurs in the presence of FAD as a cofactor. FAD is one of the two active coenzymes of vitamin B12(riboflavin). FAD displays a significantly shorter excited state lifetime in aqueous solutions than its analog, flavin mononucleotide.
