It is one of the eight B vitamins. It is normally involved in the metabolism of every cell of the body, especially affecting DNA synthesis and regulation, but also fatty acid synthesis and energy production. Function Vitamin B12 is normally involved in the metabolism of every cell of the body, especially affecting the DNA synthesis and regulation but also fatty acid synthesis and energy production. However, many of the effects of functions of B12 can be replaced by sufficient quantities of folic acid, since B12 is used to regenerate folate in the body. Most "B12 deficient symptoms" are actually folate deficient symptoms, since they include all the effects of pernicious anemia and megaloblastosis, which are due to poor synthesis of DNA when the body does not have a proper supply of folic acid for the production of thymine. When sufficient folic acid is available, all known B12 related deficiency syndromes normalize, save those narrowly connected with the B12 dependent enzymes Methylmalonyl Coenzyme A mutase (MUT), and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase (MTR), also known as methionine synthase; and the buildup of their respective substrates (methylmalonic acid, MMA) and homocysteine. Clinical Applications Promoting the formation and regeneration of red blood cells to prevent anemia; mainly for the treatment of pernicious anemia, aplastic anemia; combined with folic acid for the treatment of a variety of megaloblastic anemia, anemia and steatorrhea caused by anti-folic drugs.
