Flavin mononucleotide

Active

Description

Flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) are both synthesized from riboflavin (vitamin B2). FMN and FAD are co-factors in important cellular processess, including energy and lipid metabolism, redox signaling, programmed cell death, and growth regulation. Disturbances in the availability of riboflavin, its conversion to FMN and FAD, and the association of FMN and FAD with flavoenzymes can significantly affect the metabolism of folate, pyridoxine, vitamin K, niacin, and ascorbate and lead to skeletal and central nervous system structural changes. Measuring FMN and FAD and determining the FAD to FMN ratio may help distinguish between various disorders of flavin synthesis and transport. PMID: 24618756 Source: Regenstrief LOINC, PMID: 24618756
