Target intelligence / Profile preview

Pantothenic Acid (None)

Target: None
Molecular classification: Beta amino acids, Vitamin

Overview

Pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5, is a water-soluble B vitamin and an essential nutrient required by all animals. It is naturally present in a wide variety of foods and is a precursor for coenzyme A (CoA) synthesis, essential for energy metabolism. Deficiency is rare and it has low toxicity.

Other names: Vitamin B5

Mechanism of action

Pantothenic acid is a precursor for the synthesis of coenzyme A (CoA), which is essential for various metabolic processes including energy production and the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.

Biological functions
