Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin with roles in brain and nervous system functioning and blood formation through regulation of DNA synthesis, cellular metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism.1 It belongs to the corrinoid group of compounds, which contain a corrin macrocycle, and is produced only by certain bacteria and archaea.2 Reference to vitamin B12 usually encompasses a group of cobalt-containing compounds (or cobalamins), which include cyanocobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, 5'-deoxyadenosylcobalamin (AdoB12), and methylcobalamin (MeB12). These forms serve as cofactors in isomerase-, methyltransferase-, and dehalogenase-catalyzed reactions.3 For example, methylmalonyl coenzyme A mutase acts on AdoB12 to convert methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA, an important step before entry into the Kreb's cycle. Additionally, methionine synthase uses MeB12 to transfer a methyl group from 5-methyltetrahydrofolate to homocysteine to generate tetrahydrofolate and methionine, which is important for DNA synthesis.4

General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |
