General description

Pyridoxine is a water-soluble vitamin that exists in six forms called, pyridoxal, pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate, pyridoxine 5′-phosphate, and pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. 

Application

Pyridoxine hydrochloride has been used:
  • as a vitamin component in a chemically defined diet with balanced metal content for metal depletion studies
  • as a component of chemically defined medium (CDM) to culture Staphylococcus aureus WSPPA
  • as a vitamin to study the impact of protein expression and post-translational modifications specifically charge heterogeneity

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pyridoxine functions as an essential coenzyme for amino acid, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism. Pyridoxine deficiency is associated with peripheral neuropathy, microcytic anemia, and electroencephalographic abnormalities. It is implicated in a wide range of biochemical reactions that affect cellular processes. Pyridoxine serves as an alternative to pyridoxal which can degrade in media.
