10 - Vitamins & Minerals Flashcards

1
Q

TPP

A

Thiamine PyroPhosphate, Converted from Thiamin = B1

is bound Tightly as a Prosthetic Group in several enzymes such as: PDH, a-ketoglutarate DH, Transketolase

2 major roles:

Degradation of a-ketoacids via non-/+oxidative carboxylation

Transfer of 2-carbon fragments from ketose->aldose in transketolization
