Disorders of riboflavin metabolism [PDF]

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2019
Riboflavin (vitamin B2), a water‐soluble vitamin, is an essential nutrient in higher organisms as it is not endogenously synthesised, with requirements being met principally by dietary intake. Tissue‐specific transporter proteins direct riboflavin to the

Evaluation of Riboflavin Transporters as Targets for Drug Delivery and Theranostics

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
The retention and cellular internalization of drug delivery systems and theranostics for cancer therapy can be improved by targeting molecules. Since an increased uptake of riboflavin was reported for various cancers, riboflavin and its derivatives may ...

Overview on the Bacterial Iron-Riboflavin Metabolic Axis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Redox reactions are ubiquitous in biological processes. Enzymes involved in redox metabolism often use cofactors in order to facilitate electron-transfer reactions. Common redox cofactors include micronutrients such as vitamins and metals.

An update on the genetics, clinical presentation, and pathomechanisms of human riboflavin transporter deficiency

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2019
Riboflavin transporter deficiency (RTD) is a rare neurological condition that encompasses the Brown‐Vialetto‐Van Laere and Fazio‐Londe syndromes since the discovery of pathogenic mutations in the SLC52A2 and SLC52A3 genes that encode human riboflavin ...

Riboflavin Biosynthesis and Overproduction by a Derivative of the Human Gut Commensal Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis ATCC 15697

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Riboflavin or vitamin B2 is the precursor of the essential coenzymes flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). Despite increased interest in microbial synthesis of this water-soluble vitamin, the metabolic pathway for riboflavin ...

Real-Time Detection of Riboflavin Production by Lactobacillus plantarum Strains and Tracking of Their Gastrointestinal Survival and Functionality in vitro and in vivo Using mCherry Labeling

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Some strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) produce riboflavin, a water-soluble vitamin of the B complex, essential for human beings. Here, we have evaluated riboflavin (B2 vitamin) production by five Lactobacillus plantarum strains isolated from chicha ...
