Mouse Pyridoxal 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 (By similarity).

PLP is the active form of vitamin B6, and acts as a cofactor for over 140 different enzymatic reactions (By similarity).
