Pyridoxal kinase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PDXK gene. [5] [6]

The protein encoded by this gene phosphorylates vitamin B 6, a step required for the conversion of vitamin B6 to pyridoxal-5-phosphate, an important cofactor in intermediary metabolism. The encoded protein is cytoplasmic and probably acts as a homodimer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined. [6]
