Message definition (Methylcobalamin)
==Functions==
This [[vitamer]], along with [[adenosylcobalamin]], is one of two active coenzymes used by vitamin B{{sub|12}}-dependent enzymes and is the specific vitamin B{{sub|12}} form used by [[5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase]] (MTR), also known as methionine synthase.
 
Methylcobalamin participates in the [[Wood-Ljungdahl pathway]], which is a pathway by which some organisms utilize carbon dioxide as their source of organic compounds.  In this pathway, methylcobalamin provides the methyl group that couples to carbon monoxide (derived from CO<sub>2</sub>) to afford [[acetyl-CoA]].  Acetyl-CoA is a derivative of acetic acid that is converted to more complex molecules as required by the organism.

Functions

This vitamer, along with adenosylcobalamin, is one of two active coenzymes used by vitamin B12-dependent enzymes and is the specific vitamin B12 form used by 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase (MTR), also known as methionine synthase.

Methylcobalamin participates in the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway, which is a pathway by which some organisms utilize carbon dioxide as their source of organic compounds. In this pathway, methylcobalamin provides the methyl group that couples to carbon monoxide (derived from CO2) to afford acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is a derivative of acetic acid that is converted to more complex molecules as required by the organism.
