Pyridoxal (pyridoxine, vitamin B6) Phosphatase, otherwise known as PLP (or PDXP, in certain cases), is defined as the metabolically active form of the water-soluble Vitamin B6. Its functions involve: acting as a cofactor in many reactions of amino acid metabolism, gluconeogenesis and lipid metabolism.
