- Applications
  - Application Description
    
    Eukaryotic Cell Culture Applications: Pyridoxine was used in a stably transformed Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells expressing normal and mutant forms of AGT (alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase) in the study of primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1), a rare heriditary calcium oxalate kidney stone disease caused by AGT deficiency. Researchers showed Pyridoxine increases the expression, activity and import of the most common mistargeted mutant forms of AGT. This demonstrates that Pyridoxine, which is metabolised to pyridoxal phosphate (the essential cofactor of AGT) acts as a prosthetic group and chaperone. This should help to aid pharmacological treatments of PH1 (Fargue et al, 2013).
