Vitamin B5 is a key component of coenzyme A (CoA) and acyl carrier protein (ACP):

• Metabolic function: Participate in over 100 metabolic reactions such as fatty acid synthesis and decomposition, tricarboxylic acid cycle, cholesterol synthesis, etc
• Skin Health: Promotes epidermal repair (used for burn and wound healing)
• Deficiency syndrome: rare, may lead to "burning foot syndrome" (neuralgia, sensory abnormalities)
• Clinical applications: postoperative intestinal function recovery (stimulating intestinal peristalsis), acne adjuvant therapy (regulating sebum secretion), rheumatoid arthritis adjuvant therapy (regulating inflammation through CoA)
