Overview:
Cyanocobalamin is a laboratory-grade form of Vitamin B-12 used in research focused on cellular metabolism, cofactor activity, and methylation pathways. It is commonly implemented in assays investigating DNA synthesis, enzymatic reactions, and energy-related biochemical processes.
Scientific Background:
As a cofactor in methylation and metabolic reactions, B-12 participates in pathways involving methionine synthase and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase. In controlled in-vitro studies, cyanocobalamin serves as a stable and predictable compound for examining how nutrient cofactors influence cellular processing, metabolic flow, and enzymatic behavior.
Why Researchers Study Cyanocobalamin:
Its well-characterized biochemical role makes B-12 a foundational compound for exploring metabolic pathways, nutrient-dependent enzymatic functions, and cellular energy-system support in academic research environments.
