Background:

Vitamin B₁₂is a water-soluble vitamin with roles in brain and nervous system functioning and blood formation through regulation of DNA synthesis, cellular metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism.¹It belongs to the corrinoid group of compounds, which contain a corrin macrocycle, and is produced only by certain bacteria and archaea.²Reference to vitamin B₁₂usually encompasses a group of cobalt-containing compounds (or cobalamins), which include cyanocobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, 5'-deoxyadenosylcobalamin (AdoB₁₂), and methylcobalamin (MeB₁₂). These forms serve as cofactors in isomerase-, methyltransferase-, and dehalogenase-catalyzed reactions.³For example, methylmalonyl coenzyme A mutase acts on AdoB₁₂to convert methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA, an important step before entry into the Kreb's cycle. Additionally, methionine synthase uses MeB₁₂to transfer a methyl group from 5-methyltetrahydrofolate to homocysteine to generate tetrahydrofolate and methionine, which is important for DNA synthesis.⁴
