Home of B6-dependent enzymes

Enzymes that contain vitamin B6 – pyridoxal-5' phosphate (PLP) – as a cofactor are of great relevance to biology and medicine. B6-dependent enzymes belong to a small number of evolutionary lineages, but encompass more than 300 distinct catalytic functions, thus representing a remarkable example of divergent evolution.

You can access to the following information:
  • activity  Activities involving the B6 cofactor
  • seq  Sequences of B6-dependent enzymes
  • bib  References on B6-dependent activities and proteins
  • fam  Families of B6-dependent proteins
