Human pyridoxal;pyridoxine vitamin B6-kinase,PDXK ELI

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.
