Description

B12 is an essential water-soluble vitamin involved in a range of biochemical and cellular processes. It is widely studied for its role as a cofactor in cellular metabolism, DNA synthesis, methylation pathways and normal cellular function.

B12 research spans areas including one-carbon metabolism, homocysteine metabolism, neurological biochemistry and processes associated with red blood cell formation.

Research

B12 acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in important metabolic pathways, including the conversion of homocysteine to methionine and the metabolism of methylmalonyl-CoA.

These biochemical functions have made B12 an established subject of research into:

• Cellular and energy metabolism
• DNA synthesis and cellular replication
• Methionine and homocysteine metabolism
• Methylation pathways
• Neurological and nervous-system biochemistry
• Red blood cell formation and haematological processes

B12 research is also closely associated with the study of folate metabolism, as the two nutrients participate in interconnected biochemical pathways involved in DNA synthesis and methylation.
