Key Features and Details
Vitamin B12
| SKU | 02103271-CF |
| Alternate Names | Cyanocobalamin; α-(5,6-Dimethylbenzimidazolyl)cyanocobamide; CN-Cbl; Cyanocob(III)alamin |
| Application Notes | Vitamin B12 plays a role in the synthesis of myelin. It is a cofactor for two enzymes, methionine synthase and L-methylmalonyl-CoA mutase. The compound is also used as an antipernicious anemia factor. |
| Base Catalog Number | 103271 |
| Beilstein Registry Number | 4122889 |
| Biochemical Physiological Actions | Biosynthesis of the basic structure of the vitamin is accomplished only by bacteria(which usually produce hydroxocobalamin). Bacteria-derived hydroxocobalamin (OHCbl) and CNCbl are converted in humans to useful coenzyme forms to support metabolic processes such as mitochondrial methylmalonylcoenzyme A mutase conversion of methylmalonic acid (MMA) to succinate to link lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, and activation of methionine synthase, the rate limiting step in the synthesis of methionine. |
