Methyl B12 Research Compound
Methyl B12, also known as Methylcobalamin or Mecobalamin, is an active cobalamin form of vitamin B12 containing a cobalt-centered corrin ring with a methyl group attached to the cobalt atom. It is widely studied in laboratory research involving methylation pathways, one-carbon metabolism, methionine synthase-related systems, neurological research models, cellular energy pathways, redox biology, and cobalamin-dependent enzyme activity.
