Biological function of pyridoxine-

Pyridoxine is essential for the growth of infants. Pyridoxine phosphate acts as coenzyme in transmination and decarboxylation af amino acids, interconversion of glycine and serine and transulfuration in methionine metabolism. Pyridoxine phosphate is required in the transport of amino acid and some metallic ions across the cell membrane. It is involved in the synthesis of co-enzyme-A from pantothenic acid is also concerned with immune response.
