Advance in research on pharmacogenomics of vitamin / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Vitamin is necessary and important for humans and an-imals to maintain normal physiological function, metabolism, and growth. The studies suggest that vitamin is one of the factors which play a role in the activity of enzymes, and it is coenzyme of many enzyme or an important component of coenzyme. The lack of vitamins causes a metabolic vitamin deficiency. Pharma-cogenomics research the relationship between human genetic vari-ation and drug reaction, using the information to solve the differ-ent reactions among the different individuals of the same drug. Vitamins, which constitute human tissues and maintain normal physiological functions, are also an important part for the phar-macogenomics study.
