Pyridoxal Phosphatase function
General Annotation
Known Functions
Amino Acid Metabolism
- transamination - transsulfuration - selenoamino acid metabolism - conversion of typtophan to niacin.
Gluconeogenesis
- Catalyse transamination reactions for gluconeogenesis. - Coenzyme for glycogen phosphorylase, which catalyse glycogenolysis.
Neurotransmitter Synthesis
- Coenzyme for Pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzymes, which catalyses the biosynthesis of serotonin, epinephrine, norepinephrine and gamma-aminobutyric acid(The four important neurotranmsitters).
Histamine Synthesis
- Metabolism of histamine.
Hemoglobin Synthesis and Function
- Synthesis of heme - Binds to two sites on hemoglobin, enhancing the oxygen binding of hemoglobin.
Gene Expression
- Increases or decreases the expression of certain genes.
