Vitamin B12

What Is Vitamin B12?

Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) is an essential cobalamin required for one-carbon metabolism, myelin synthesis, and DNA methylation. Research applications include cobalamin-dependent enzyme studies, neurological energy models, and methylation cycle research. Methylcobalamin is the bioactive coenzyme form used in intracellular methyl-transfer reactions.

Research Context

• One-carbon metabolism and methylation cycle studies
• Methionine synthase and methyl-transfer reaction models
• Neuronal energy metabolism and myelin synthesis research
• Cobalamin deficiency pathway and supplementation models
