Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate monohydrate is the active coenzyme form of vitamin B6 and is essential for the function of numerous enzymes. It serves as a key cofactor for aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase, which catalyzes the final step in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin. Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate is the primary intracellular phosphorylated form of vitamin B6 and is interconvertible with other forms, including pyridoxine 5′-phosphate (PNP) and pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate (PMP).
