Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) is synthesized in a multiple-step process. The two pathways inlcude pyridoxal phosphate biosynthetic protein (PdxA)- pyridoxine-5′-phosphate synthase (PdxJ) pathway and the pyridoxal 5′-phosphate synthase subunit PDX1/PDX2 pathway. It is the active form of pyridoxine.
Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate hydrate has also been used:
• as a reference standard to quantify vitamin B6 in feed and digesta samples using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
• in D-amino acid transaminase reaction(10)
• as a cofactor for L-glutamic acid decarboxylase
