Pyridoxine

Pyridoxine hydrochloride - vitamin B₆. Phosphorylated and in the form of pyridoxal phosphate is part of the enzymes catalyzing decarboxylation and transamination. It plays an important role in the metabolism of tryptophan, glutamic acid, cysteine, methionine, as well as in the transport of amino acids across the cell membrane. Necessary for the activation of phosphorylase, for the formation of neurotransmitters, gamma-aminobutyric acid, glycine, serotonin. Participates in the exchange of vitamin B₁₂, folic acid, in the synthesis of porphyrins, in the exchange of unsaturated fatty acids. It is used to activate metabolic processes in myofibrils, especially during myocardial hypoxia.
