Why is NMNAT Protective against Neuronal Cell Death and Axon Degeneration, but Inhibitory of Axon Regeneration?

Nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase (NMNAT), a key enzyme for NAD<sup>+</sup> synthesis, is well known for its activity in neuronal survival and attenuation of Wallerian degeneration. Recent investigations in invertebrate models have, however, revealed that NMNAT activity neg...
