General description

Pyridoxal-phosphate (PLP, pyridoxal-5′-phosphate, P5P) is a prosthetic group of some enzymes. It is the active form of vitamin B6, which comprises three natural organic compounds, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine and pyridoxine. PLP acts as a coenzyme in all transamination reactions, and in some decarboxylation and deamination reactions of amino acids.

Application


  • Hierarchical Surface Architecture of Hemodialysis Membranes for Eliminating Homocysteine Based on the Multifunctional Role of Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate.: Discusses the development of advanced hemodialysis membranes using pyridoxal 5′-phosphate, highlighting its role in reducing homocysteine levels, which could contribute to improved outcomes for dialysis patients (Jiang P et al., 2020).
