'''Amino Acid Metabolism'''
'''Amino Acid Metabolism'''


2cfsA is involved in almost all amino acid metabolism. Some of these amino acid metabolism include transamination, transsulfuration, selenoamino acid metabolism and conversion of typtophan to niacin.
- transamination
- transsulfuration
- selenoamino acid metabolism  
- conversion of typtophan to niacin.




'''Gluconeogenesis'''
'''Gluconeogenesis'''


2cfsA can catalyse transamination reactions that are essential for providing amino acids as a substrate for gluconeogenesis. 2cfsA is also required as a coenzyme for glycogen phosphorylase, which in turn catalyse glycogenolysis.
- Catalyse transamination reactions for gluconeogenesis.
- Coenzyme for glycogen phosphorylase, which catalyse glycogenolysis.




'''Neurotransmitter Synthesis'''
'''Neurotransmitter Synthesis'''


Pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzymes catalyses the biosynthesis of serotonin, epinephrine, norepinephrine and gamma-aminobutyric acid(The four important neurotranmsitters).
- Coenzyme for Pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzymes, which catalyses the biosynthesis of serotonin, epinephrine, norepinephrine and gamma-aminobutyric acid(The four important neurotranmsitters).




'''Histamine Synthesis'''
'''Histamine Synthesis'''


2cfsA is involved in the metabolism of histamine.
- Metabolism of histamine.




'''Hemoglobin Synthesis and Function'''
'''Hemoglobin Synthesis and Function'''


Pyridoxal phosphate aids in the synthesis of heme and can also bind to two sites on hemoglobin to enhance the oxygen binding of hemoglobin.
- Synthesis of heme  
- Binds to two sites on hemoglobin, enhancing the oxygen binding of hemoglobin.




'''Gene Expression'''
'''Gene Expression'''


Pyridoxal phosphate has been implicated in increasing or decreasing the expression of certain genes. Increased intracellular levels of 2cfsA will lead to a decrease in the transcription of glucocorticoid hormones. Also, vitamin B6 deficiency will lead to the increased expression of albumin mRNA. Also, pyridoxal phosphate will influence gene expression of glycoprotein IIb by interacting with various transcription factors. The result is inhibition of platelet aggregation.
- Increases or decreases the expression of certain genes.
