What does niacin act as in enzyme-catalyzed reactions?
Niacin acts as a coenzyme in enzyme-catalyzed reactions, specifically as the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). It plays a key role in redox reactions by accepting and donating electrons, thereby aiding in metabolic processes such as glucose and fatty acid metabolism.
What vitamin is needed for respiration in cells?
Vitamin B3, also known as niacin, is needed for respiration in cells. It plays a key role in the production of NADH, which is a coenzyme involved in the electron transport chain, a vital part of cellular respiration.
What is the main function of the vitamin or mineral to you in niacin?
it serves as coenzyme for many enzymes in the form of NAD,NADP,NADPH..............
What is a niacin equivalent?
I believe Niacin Equivalent refers to the amount of tryptophan in a food that will be converted into niacin (provided the body is healthy enoguh to make the conversion effectively).
What will make you fail a drug test for niacin?
No, niacin is a natural vitamin found in many foods you eat.
How vitamins metabolize by the body?
Vitamin A: The yellow and green pigments found in vegetables are called carotenes which are pro vitamins and are converted into Vitamin A. The role of vitamin A in Vision has already been discussed in a previous page. Vitamin B2 is better known as riboflavin and is widely distributed in many foods. Riboflavin is used to form a coenzyme FAD important in the utilization of oxygen in the cells. Niacin, also known as nicotinic acid, is also in the B complex of vitamins. Nicotinic acid was first obtained from the alkaloid nicotine in tobacco and was later found in many plant and animal tissues as niacin. Nicotinamide is a part of the important coenzyme, Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD). This NAD+ coenzyme is important during biological oxidations and is discussed in detail in a later page. Pantothenic Acid is art of the structure of coenzyme A.
What is the coenzyme derived from pantothenic acid?
Pantothenic acid is converted into its active form Coenzyme A.
An example of a coenzyme?
Vitamin K is also a coenzyme.
How can coenzyme let you lose weight?
I'm not aware of any weight loss properties of Coenzyme Q10, or any other coenzyme.
What is Co A?
It is an important coenzyme for nutrition. CoA = coenzyme-A
How are apoenzyme and coenzyme and holoenzyme and confactor related?
Holoenzyme= Apoenzyme+ coenzyme
What role does coenzyme q10 play in human metabolism?
Coenzyme Q10 stimulates the lipid metabolism which in turn affects the body's ability to break down food into energy. http://www.hwize.com/coenzyme-q10/coenzyme-q10.html
