Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)

Vitamin B12 plays a role in the synthesis of myelin. It is a cofactor for two enzymes, methionine synthase and L-methylmalonyl-CoA mutase. The compound is also used as an antipernicious anemia factor.


Biosynthesis of the basic structure of the vitamin is accomplished only by bacteria(which usually produce hydroxocobalamin). Bacteria-derived hydroxocobalamin (OHCbl) and CNCbl are converted in humans to useful coenzyme forms to support metabolic processes such as mitochondrial methylmalonylcoenzyme A mutase conversion of methylmalonic acid (MMA) to succinate to link lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, and activation of methionine synthase, the rate limiting step in the synthesis of methionine.
