Vitamin B6 in Plants: More Than Meets the Eye

2011-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Vitamin B6 is derived primarily from plant sources and is an essential nutrient in the human diet. While it is well established as a cofactor for numerous metabolic enzymes, more recently, vitamin B6 has been implicated as a potent antioxidant. The term vitamin B6 is generic for the compounds pyridoxine (PN), pyridoxal, pyridoxamine and their phosphorylated derivatives (vitamers). The de novo biosynthesis pathway...
