Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP), the active form of Vitamin B₆ is a cofactor in a variety of metabolic reactions including transamination, decarboxylation, racemization, etc. Vitamin B₆ comprises of pyridoxine, pyridoxamine and pyridoxal, which during metabolism is converted to the enzymatically active form namely PLP. Vitamin B₆ is necessary for the synthesis of neurotransmitters, hemoglobin in red blood cells, fat metabolism, etc. Vitamin B₆ deficiency can lead to nervous disorders, peripheral neuropathy, anemia, seizures, etc. BioVision’s Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (Vit B₆) Fluorometric Assay Kit (K2009) provides a quick, specific and easy method for measuring PLP concentrations in a wide variety of samples.
