Metabolite Identification
Common NamePrecorrin 8
DescriptionPrecorrin 8 is a cobalt-containing metabolite classified within the chemical class of corrinoids, which are essential precursors in the biosynthesis of cobalamin (vitamin B12). Its chemical structure features a corrin ring with a cobalt ion at the center, surrounded by a complex arrangement of carbon and nitrogen atoms. In the anaerobic pathway of cobalamin synthesis, Precorrin 8 is produced through the action of the CbiT enzyme, which functions as both a cobalt-precorrin-7 C15-methyltransferase and a C12-decarboxylase. This dual role facilitates the transformation of cobalt-precorrin-7 into Precorrin 8, an important intermediate in the pathway leading to the final formation of vitamin B12. The synthesis of Precorrin 8 is crucial for organisms that rely on cobalamin for various metabolic processes, including DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation. Understanding the chemistry and pathways involving Precorrin 8 enhances our knowledge of vitamin B12 biosynthesis and its implications in microbiology and biochemistry (PMID:23688113 ).
