name: 'de novo' NAD biosynthetic process from L-aspartate
namespace: biological_process
alt_id: GO:0019355
def: "The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), beginning with the catabolism of L-aspartate into the precursor quinolinate. NAD+ is a coenzyme that interconverts with its reduced form, NADH, in many redox and catabolic reactions." [GOC:curators]
comment: This pathway is found in bacteria, Archaea and may also occur in plants.
