DESCRIPTION

Also known as PDXK_HUMAN, PDXK, C21orf124, C21orf97, PKH, PNK. Catalyzes the phosphorylation of the dietary vitamin B6 vitamers pyridoxal (PL), pyridoxine (PN) and pyridoxamine (PM) to form pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP) and pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate (PMP), respectively (PubMed:9099727, PubMed:10987144, PubMed:17766369, PubMed:19351586, PubMed:31187503) (Probable). PLP is the active form of vitamin B6, and acts as a cofactor for over 140 different enzymatic reactions. Homodimer.
