pyridoxal (pyridoxine, vitamin B6) kinase

The protein encoded by this gene phosphorylates vitamin B6, a step required for the conversion of vitamin B6 to pyridoxal-5-phosphate, an important cofactor in intermediary metabolism. The encoded protein is cytoplasmic and probably acts as a homodimer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined.

pyridoxal (pyridoxine, vitamin B6) phosphatase

Pyridoxal 5-prime-phosphate (PLP) is the active form of vitamin B6 that acts as a coenzyme in maintaining biochemical homeostasis. The preferred degradation route from PLP to 4-pyridoxic acid involves the dephosphorylation of PLP by PDXP (Jang et al., 2003 [PubMed 14522954]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

pyridoxal-dependent decarboxylase domain containing 1

Enables cadherin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in carboxylic acid metabolic process. Located in Golgi apparatus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

pyridoxal-dependent decarboxylase domain containing 2, pseudogene

This locus represents naturally-occurring readthrough transcription between two pseudogenes, PDXDC2P (pyridoxal dependent decarboxylase domain containing 2, pseudogene) and NPIPB14P (nuclear pore complex interacting protein family, member B14, pseudogene). The individual pseudogene loci are not curated as transcribed regions. Readthrough transcripts likely do not encode functional proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]

pyridoxal-dependent decarboxylase domain-containing protein 1

pyridoxal phosphate binding protein

This gene encodes a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate binding protein involved in the homeostatic regulation of intracellular pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. This gene has a tumor suppressive effect on hepatocellular carcinoma and other solid tumors of epithelial origin. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with a pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]

pyridoxal dependent decarboxylase domain containing 2, pseudogene

Predicted to enable carboxy-lyase activity and pyridoxal phosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in carboxylic acid metabolic process. Predicted to be active in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
