Homocysteine transition to methionine

Coenzymes of folate, vitamin B12, riboflavin, and pyridoxine vitamins are essential in homocysteine metabolism. Homocysteine is either remethylated to methionine or transsulfurated to cysteine. Folate, riboflavin, and vitamin B12 coenzymes are needed for the remethylation pathway, whereas pyridoxine coenzyme is required for the transsulfuration pathway (Figure 62.1).
