Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide
FAD is a flavin adenine dinucleotide in which the substituent at position 10 of the flavin nucleus is a 5'-adenosyldiphosphoribityl group. It has a role as a cofactor, a prosthetic group, a mouse metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a human metabolite. It is a vitamin B2 and a flavin adenine dinucleotide. It is a conjugate acid of a FAD(3-). — ChEBI
