Function
SARM1 or NAD(+) hydrolase or sterile alpha and TIR motif-containing protein 1 or NADase is a NAD-cleaving enzyme whose activation triggers axon destruction. SARM1 is a metabolic sensor responding to an increased NMN/NAD+ ratio by cleaving residual NAD+ and inducing axonal demise[1]. SARM1-induced axon destruction can be counteracted by increased NAD+ synthesis[2].
Disease
SARM1 mutations were found in ALS patients[3].
