NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes a specific methylation reaction: it transfers a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to nicotinamide, producing two products 1-methylnicotinamide (1-MNA) and S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH)
The nicotin in the name is from vitamin B3 etymology

Animal experiments confirmed that dural injection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes miR-367-3p significantly reduced the expression of EZH2 in spinal cord tissues of EAE mice, increased the expression of SLC7A11, GPX4, GSH, and SOD, decreased the levels of Fe 2+ and MDA, inhibited spinal cord iron deposition, ferroptosis, and inflammation, and alleviated spinal cord injury ( 2+ and MDA levels, while reducing GSH, NRF2, and GPX4 expression, as well as iron reactive element binding protein 2 (IREB2) in optic nerve tissue
