Description
Enables NAD+ nucleosidase activity. Involved in NAD catabolic process; positive regulation of neuron death; and regulation of dendrite morphogenesis. Acts upstream of or within regulation of apoptotic process and response to glucose. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; microtubule; and mitochondrion. Is extrinsic component of mitochondrial outer membrane. Is expressed in immune system; nervous system; neural retina; and tongue. Orthologous to human SARM1 (sterile alpha and TIR motif containing 1).
