CAS 68-19-9: Vitamin B12
Description:Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in various biological processes, particularly in the formation of red blood cells, DNA synthesis, and neurological function. It is characterized by its complex structure, which includes a cobalt ion at its core, surrounded by a corrin ring. This unique structure is responsible for its biological activity. Vitamin B12 exists in several forms, with methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin being the most biologically active. It is primarily obtained from animal sources, such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products, making it essential for individuals following a vegetarian or vegan diet to consider supplementation. Deficiency in Vitamin B12 can lead to anemia, neurological disorders, and other health issues. The CAS number 68-19-9 specifically identifies the compound, which is crucial for regulatory and research purposes. Overall, Vitamin B12 is vital for maintaining overall health, particularly in metabolic processes and maintaining the nervous system's integrity.
