Catalyzes the deamidation of nicotinamide, an early step in the NAD+ salvage pathway. Positively regulates SIR2-mediated silencing and longevity by preventing the accumulation of intracellular nicotinamide, an inhibitor of SIR2, during times of stress. Acts also on nicotinyl hydroxamate. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-216 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae Nicotinamidase fused to His-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
