Message definition (Riboflavin)
==Functions==
Riboflavin is essential to the formation of two major coenzymes, FMN and FAD. These coenzymes are involved in [[energy metabolism]], [[cell respiration]], [[antibody]] production, growth and development. Riboflavin is essential for the metabolism of [[carbohydrate]]s, [[protein (nutrient)|protein]] and [[fat]]s. FAD contributes to the conversion of [[tryptophan]] to [[Niacin (nutrient)|niacin]] (vitamin B<sub>3</sub>) and the conversion of vitamin B<sub>6</sub> to the coenzyme [[Pyridoxal phosphate|pyridoxal 5'-phosphate]] requires FMN. Riboflavin is involved in maintaining normal circulating levels of [[homocysteine]]; in riboflavin deficiency, homocysteine levels increase, elevating the risk of [[cardiovascular diseases]].

Functions

Riboflavin is essential to the formation of two major coenzymes, FMN and FAD. These coenzymes are involved in energy metabolism, cell respiration, antibody production, growth and development. Riboflavin is essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates, protein and fats. FAD contributes to the conversion of tryptophan to niacin (vitamin B3) and the conversion of vitamin B6 to the coenzyme pyridoxal 5'-phosphate requires FMN. Riboflavin is involved in maintaining normal circulating levels of homocysteine; in riboflavin deficiency, homocysteine levels increase, elevating the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
