FUNCTIONS Biologically active Vitamin B-6 is an essential vitamin that is particularly important for amino acid metabolism, a healthy nervous system, and hormone formation. Vitamin B-6 must be converted to its active phosphorylated form to perform its crucial functions in the body.*
The biological functions of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) are accomplished by its coenzyme form, pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P). P5P’s actions mainly involve the metabolism of amino acids and other nitrogen compounds. In the liver, P5P is essential for glucose production from amino acids through its role as a coenzyme for the transaminase enzymes. P5P is also needed in the liver and muscles to access stored glycogen for glucose production, and to synthesize niacin from the amino acid tryptophan.
In red blood cells, P5P is needed for hemoglobin synthesis, and regulation of oxygen affinity. Moreover, cell receptivity to steroid hormones is influenced by P5P. In the nervous system, P5P is needed for synthesis of several neurotransmitters, including serotonin (from tryptophan), taurine, dopamine, norepinephrine, histamine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Many experimental and clinical observations support the fact that dietary vitamin B6 is required to maintain normal nervous system function.*
Along with vitamin B12 and folic acid, P5P is involved in single carbon metabolism, and is necessary for maintaining normal plasma homocysteine levels. Elevated plasma homocysteine may be an independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease. Also, due to its involvement in single carbon metabolism, P5P helps maintain normal immune function.*
