Cobalamin (Vitamin B12): Functions

Coenzyme function Methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin, as coenzyme forms of vitamin B12, are involved in three cobalamin-dependent metabolic reactions. Adenosylcobalamin acts in the mitochondria (power plants of cells). Mitochondria are responsible for energy production as part of cellular respiration and are found particularly in cells with high energy consumption, such as muscle, nerve, sensory and oocytes.Methylcobalamin … Cobalamin (Vitamin B12): Functions
