NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is dedicated to supplying high-quality biochemicals, and understanding the function of Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate (PLP) as a critical enzyme cofactor is central to our mission. PLP, the active form of Vitamin B6, is essential for the catalytic activity of over 100 different enzymes, primarily those involved in amino acid metabolism, but also in carbohydrate and lipid pathways.

Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate biochemical reactions, and many of them require a non-protein component, known as a cofactor, to function. PLP is one such vital cofactor. Its unique chemical structure, featuring an aldehyde group, allows it to form temporary bonds, known as Schiff bases, with the amino groups of amino acid substrates. This interaction is fundamental to the diverse reactions PLP-catalyzed enzymes perform, including transamination, decarboxylation, elimination, and racemization of amino acids.

These enzymatic reactions are not only crucial for synthesizing essential amino acids but also for breaking them down for energy or for the production of other vital biomolecules. For instance, PLP is critical for the synthesis of neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA, and for the production of heme, a component of hemoglobin. Without sufficient PLP, these enzyme-driven processes would be severely compromised, leading to a cascade of health issues.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides high-purity Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate, ensuring that researchers and manufacturers have access to a reliable source of this essential cofactor. By supporting the activity of these numerous enzymes, PLP plays an indirect but crucial role in everything from energy production to immune function and neurological health.

The versatility of PLP as a cofactor highlights its importance in maintaining the intricate biochemical balance within living organisms. Its ability to participate in a wide range of reaction mechanisms makes it a subject of significant interest in biochemical research and a valuable ingredient in various health products. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is proud to contribute to these fields by supplying this indispensable compound, enabling a deeper understanding and application of enzyme activity.

We invite researchers and formulators to explore the benefits of our premium Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate for their enzyme studies and product development needs.
