Pyridoxylamine（Cat No.:I019921）is a biologically active compound derived from vitamin B6 and features a pyridine ring substituted with a hydroxymethyl and an aminomethyl group. It plays a role in amino acid metabolism and functions as an intermediate in the biosynthesis and interconversion of B6 vitamers. Pyridoxylamine can act as a coenzyme in transamination reactions, aiding in the transfer of amino groups. It is studied for its potential antioxidant and protective effects against glycation and oxidative stress. This compound is of interest in biomedical research, particularly in neurological and metabolic health contexts.
