Phosphorous and Phosphorylated Vitamins: The Roles of Phosphorous
The mineral phosphate is vital for many metabolic processes including cell signaling, DNA production and RNA production. Phosphorous can be found in two forms, phosphoproteins (proteins with covalently-attached phosphoryl group) and phosphorylated Vitamins (vitamins with a covalently-attached phosphate band). Both forms play an important role in the cellular metabolism. The regulation of cell signaling and gene expression is a key role for phosphoproteins. A phosphoprotein acts as an enzyme, which regulates the activity and a structural protein, giving cells structural stability. These proteins are important for both the formation and maintenance of DNA/RNA. They also play an essential role in energy production. Studies have demonstrated that phosphoproteins are necessary for proper cell growth and development (Bertoldo et al., 2019; Löhr et al., 2020).
TDP and PLP are key cofactors for many enzymatic processes. TDP, PLP and fatty acid metabolism are all influenced by PLP. Cont….
