Vitamin B7

Vitamin B7, as a carboxylase coenzyme, participates in key metabolic processes:

• Metabolic function: Participate in carboxylation reactions in gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis, and amino acid metabolism
• Gene expression: Regulating gene expression through histone biotinylation
• Deficiency syndrome: leading to dermatitis, hair loss, conjunctivitis, and neurological symptoms
• Clinical application: Treatment of biotin deficiency, improvement of nail fragility and certain hereditary carboxylase defects
