karboksybiotiini
Karboksybiotiini, also known as carboxybiotin or biotin carboxylase, is an essential cofactor involved in various biochemical processes within the human body. It is a derivative of biotin (vitamin B7), playing a crucial role in fatty acid synthesis and gluconeogenesis. While biotin itself is well-known for its importance in maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails, carboxybiotin functions primarily as a coenzyme in enzymatic reactions.
Carboxybiotin is generated from biotin through a carboxylation process, where a carboxyl group (COOH) is added
In addition to its role in lipid metabolism, carboxybiotin is involved in the regulation of glucose production
While carboxybiotin itself is not commonly supplemented directly, biotin-rich foods or biotin supplements ensure adequate levels
