Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NamePyridoxal
DescriptionPyridoxal, also known as pyridoxaldehyde, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyridoxals and derivatives. Pyridoxals and derivatives are compounds containing a pyridoxal moiety, which consists of a pyridine ring substituted at positions 2,3,4, and 5 by a methyl group, a hydroxyl group, a carbaldehyde group, and a hydroxymethyl group, respectively. The 4-carboxyaldehyde form of vitamin B 6 which is converted to pyridoxal phosphate which is a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid. Pyridoxal is a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Pyridoxal exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, pyridoxal is involved in glycine and serine metabolism. Outside of the human body, Pyridoxal is found, on average, in the highest concentration within milk (cow). Pyridoxal has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as tarragons, peppermints, jicama, shallots, and dandelions. This could make pyridoxal a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Pyridoxal is a potentially toxic compound. Pyridoxal is the precursor to pyridoxal phosphate. Pyridoxal is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.

Gene Name:
AOX1
Uniprot ID:
Q06278
Molecular weight:
147916.735
General function:
Involved in pyridoxamine-phosphate oxidase activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes the oxidation of either pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP) or pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate (PMP) into pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP).
Gene Name:
PNPO
Uniprot ID:
Q9NVS9
Molecular weight:
29987.79
General function:
Involved in lyase activity
Specific function:
The glycine cleavage system catalyzes the degradation of glycine. The P protein binds the alpha-amino group of glycine through its pyridoxal phosphate cofactor; CO(2) is released and the remaining methylamine moiety is then transferred to the lipoamide cofactor of the H protein.
Gene Name:
GLDC
Uniprot ID:
P23378
Molecular weight:
112728.805
General function:
Involved in pyridoxal kinase activity
Specific function:
Required for synthesis of pyridoxal-5-phosphate from vitamin B6.
Gene Name:
PDXK
Uniprot ID:
O00764
Molecular weight:
35102.105
General function:
Involved in catalytic activity
Specific function:
Protein serine phosphatase that dephosphorylates 'Ser-3' in cofilin and probably also dephosphorylates phospho-serine residues in DSTN. Regulates cofilin-dependent actin cytoskeleton reorganization. Required for normal progress through mitosis and normal cytokinesis. Does not dephosphorylate phospho-threonines in LIMK1. Does not dephosphorylate peptides containing phospho-tyrosine. Pyridoxal phosphate phosphatase. Has some activity towards pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PMP) and pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP), with a highest activity with PLP followed by PNP.
Gene Name:
PDXP
Uniprot ID:
Q96GD0
Molecular weight:
