Vitamin B2
20
Vitamin B2 - riboflavin Riboflavin is a precursor for FAD and FMN. FAD - flavin adenine dinucleotide. FMN - Flavin mononucleotide FAD is a cofactor for pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC), and succinate dehydrogenase in TCA cycle. FMN is an electron carrier in the electron transport chain.

Vitamin B3
30
Vitamin B3 - nicotinic acid
(a precursor for NAD). Also known as niacin. nicotinic acid NAD+ is needed for glycolysis, NADH gets oxidized in electron transport chain, etc.
31
Niacin in food
32
Role of Niacin

Vitamin B5
39
Vitamin B5 - pantothenic acid (needed for making CoA)
Coenzyme A We get pantothenic acid in our diet as CoA, which must be broken down to pantothenic acid to be absorbed in intestine. We then use the pantothenic acid in making our own CoA.
41
Absorption About 85% of dietary pantothenic acid is as CoA or phosphopantetheine. In the intestinal lumen, these undergo hydrolysis to phosphopantetheine, then pantetheine. Intestinal mucosal cells have a high pantetheinase activity and rapidly hydrolyze pantetheine to yield free pantothenic acid. The intestinal absorption of pantothenic acid is by use of the same sodium dependent carrier as biotin and lipoic acid . The carrier is found throughout the intestinal tract, and therefore pantothenic acid synthesized by intestinal bacteria will be available for absorption
45
Vitamin B6
47
Vitamin B6 - pyridoxine Precursor for pyridoxal phosphate (PLP). PLP is a covalently linked cofactor to transaminases, and some decarboxylases, and glycogen phosphorylase; these are called “PLP-dependent enzymes”. PLP
53
Vitamin B7
56
Vitamin B7 - Biotin. Used in fatty acid synthesis, also other functions. We saw biotin in chapter 14: Biotin deficiency is rare.
60
Vitamin B9
62
Required for synthesis of glycine, methionine, nucleotides T & U
Vitamin B9 - Folic acid. Required for synthesis of glycine, methionine, nucleotides T & U (chapter 15). Important for rapidly dividing cells (very important in early pregnancy). N5,N10 methylene-tetrahydrofolate is a donor of methylene groups. folic acid Deficiency in pregnancy causes neural tube defects. Folic acid is now added to many grain products in the US.
66
Vitamin B12
67
(also hydroxycobalamin, adenosylcobalamin).
Vitamin B12 - cobalamin. (also hydroxycobalamin, adenosylcobalamin). We saw cobalamine in fatty acid oxidation. Cobalamin is needed in making adenosylcobalamin, a cofactor for “methyl malonyl mutase”, which breaks down odd-chain fatty acids. B12 is also used in regenerating folate Sources are meat, milk and eggs. Vegetarians who eat dairy products are OK, but non-dairy vegans may not get enough.
