Vitamin B12

This is a high-purity research product of Vitamin B12, a critical water-soluble micronutrient, strictly intended For In Vitro Research Use Only — Not for Human or Veterinary Use.

Description & Application

• Description: Vitamin B12, also known as Cyanocobalamin, is a coordination complex of cobalt and a vital member of the B-vitamin family. It is essential for several fundamental biological processes in cellular models.

• Mechanism: In research settings, B12 serves as a cofactor for enzymes involved in DNA synthesis, fatty acid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism. It is a key component in studying the conversion of homocysteine to methionine.

• Research Focus: It is widely utilized in laboratory environments to investigate:

  • Red blood cell formation and maturation pathways.

  • Neurological function and myelin sheath maintenance signaling.

  • Cellular energy production and mitochondrial health.

  • Homocysteine metabolism and its impact on cardiovascular research models.
