pyridoxal phosphate and Tuberous Sclerosis

pyridoxal phosphate has been researched along with Tuberous Sclerosis in 1 studies

Pyridoxal Phosphate: This is the active form of VITAMIN B 6 serving as a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid. During transamination of amino acids, pyridoxal phosphate is transiently converted into pyridoxamine phosphate (PYRIDOXAMINE).
pyridoxal 5'-phosphate : The monophosphate ester obtained by condensation of phosphoric acid with the primary hydroxy group of pyridoxal.

Tuberous Sclerosis: Autosomal dominant neurocutaneous syndrome classically characterized by MENTAL RETARDATION; EPILEPSY; and skin lesions (e.g., adenoma sebaceum and hypomelanotic macules). There is, however, considerable heterogeneity in the neurologic manifestations. It is also associated with cortical tuber and HAMARTOMAS formation throughout the body, especially the heart, kidneys, and eyes. Mutations in two loci TSC1 and TSC2 that encode hamartin and tuberin, respectively, are associated with the disease.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The good response to a small dosage of ACTH might be due to some responsiveness of the high-dose pyridoxal phosphate and the underlying cause of tuberous sclerosis with normal development before onset."1.30A case of West syndrome well controlled by very short and low-dose ACTH therapy. ( Kimura, M; Miyamoto, S; Sejima, H; Yamaguchi, S, 1999)
