Description

Coenzyme B12, also known as vitamin B12, is a coenzyme that participates in the metabolism of amino acids and fatty acids. It is required for the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, which is an important step in the synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), a major methyl donor. Coenzymes are required for many different reactions in cells, but they are not consumed during these reactions. Instead, they are regenerated and reused. Coenzyme B12 is synthesized by bacteria and archaea but not by animals. The cobalamin form of this coenzyme is made from cobaltous chloride or cobaltous sulfate and cyanide. This coenzyme has been shown to bind to riboswitches in bacteria and to ATP-binding cassette transporters in humans. Coenzyme B12 can exist in two different forms: adenosylcobalamin and methylcobalamin.
