Descriptor piridoxina
Scope note: Forma 4-metanol de la VITAMINA B6 que se convierte en FOSFATO DE PIRIDOXAL, coenzima para la síntesis de aminoácidos, neurotransmisores (serotonina, norepinefrina), esfingolípidos y ácido aminolevulínico. Aunque todavía se utilizan como sinónimos los términos piridoxina y vitamina B6, especialmente entre investigadores médicos, tal práctica es errónea y en ocasiones engañosa.

Scope note: The 4-methanol form of VITAMIN B 6 which is converted to PYRIDOXAL PHOSPHATE which is a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid. Although pyridoxine and Vitamin B 6 are still frequently used as synonyms, especially by medical researchers, this practice is erroneous and sometimes misleading (EE Snell; Ann NY Acad Sci, vol 585 pg 1, 1990).
