pyridoxal
Pyridoxal is a form of vitamin B6 which occurs naturally in various foods. It is a compound involved in the synthesis of proteins, neurotransmitters, and hemoglobin. It is required for the proper function of sugars, fats, and proteins in the body and is also necessary for the growth and development of the brain, nerves, skin, and many other parts of the body. Pyridoxal is converted into a coenzyme in the body, which means it helps enzymes to carry out various biochemical reactions.

Pyridoxal
Pyridoxal is one of the three natural forms of vitamin B6, along with pyridoxamine and pyridoxine. All of these forms are converted in the human body into a single biologically active form, pyridoxal 5-phosphate. All three forms of vitamin B6 are heterocyclic organic compounds. Green plants are a natural source of pyridoxal, and its deficiency in the human body can lead to serious complications such as epilepsy and seizures. There are generally three pyridoxal-phosphate reactions: transamination, alpha elimination, and beta-elimination. Pyridoxal is involved in what is believed to be the most ancient reaction of aerobic metabolism on Earth, about 2.9 billion years ago, a forerunner of the Great Oxidation Event
