Vitamin B6 Analysis Service

Vitamin B6 (VitB6) includes pyridoxal, pyridoxine, and their respective phosphate forms. Among these, pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) is the biologically active form of VitB6 present in the body. PLP functions as a cofactor for several key enzymes and plays an essential role in various metabolic processes, including amino acid metabolism, gluconeogenesis, the ornithine cycle, and heme synthesis. PLP, along with pyridoxine-5'-phosphate (PNP), is generated intracellularly by pyridoxal kinase (PDXK), which catalyzes the conversion of the non-phosphorylated vitamin B6 precursors. The dephosphorylation of PNP and PLP is mediated by the PDXK-antagonistic enzyme pyridoxal phosphatase (PDXP). Additionally, pyridoxine and pyridoxal, as well as their phosphorylated forms, can be interconverted due to the activity of PMP oxidase. In animals, PLP catabolism primarily occurs through the aldehyde oxidase 1-mediated generation of 4-pyridoxic acid, which is excreted in urine.

Exogenous supplementation of VitB6 can significantly reduce inflammation and oxidation levels in critically ill patients, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other patients. When VitB6 is deficient or depleted, resulting in hypochromic microcytic anemia and elevated ferrous ions, heme synthesis is blocked. vitB6 prevents hydrogen peroxide-induced lipid peroxidation and oxygen free radical production. In addition, VitB6 plays an important role as a coenzyme in preventing HCY-induced oxidative stress by regulating homocysteine (HCY) metabolism.

VitB6 can be analyzed in various fields, except for biomedicine, where it can be used for disease mechanism, diagnosis and treatment research, health care product development, and also in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, food, etc. VitB6 has an impact on the nutritional and aroma quality of fruits. In animal husbandry, the growth performance, feed utilization, etc. can be obtained by adding appropriate amount of VitB6 in feed ration.

Creative Proteomics can implement qualitative and quantitative vitamin B6 assay services in a variety of samples via high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technology platforms to accelerate your research projects.
