The relationship between vitamins and coenzymes
...ngomyelin and other sphingolipids and neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, histamine and Gamma-aminobutyric acid). Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate is involved in the metabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid, which is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Vitamin B6 in the form of pyridoxal 5’-phosphate acts as a coenzyme for more than100 enzymes. Vitamin B12 is connected to a coenzyme form and is essential for normal metabolism in all cells especially those of the gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, and. Vitamins B12, B6 and folic acid work together to provide methyl groups in biological pathways and reduce honerous system. Biotin is a cofactor for enzymes that are involved in the metabolism of carbohydrate, fat, and protein. Enzymatic reactions involving biotin allow the transfer of carbon dioxide, CO2, in biochemical reactions that are essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fat, and protein. As a coenzyme, biotin plays a role in the deamination, which generates energy from certain amino acids. As a coenzyme, folate is essential for the synthesis of the purines, guanine, adenine, the pyrimidines and thymine. Folic acid plays a role in the biosynthesis of heme and hemoglobin. Homocysteine is the product of demethylation of methionine. Vitamin K has hemostatic activity and is used to treat anticoagulant-induced prothrombin deficiency. Vitamin K works as a cofactor for the gamma-carboxylase enzymes. It helps co...
