| Roles Classification |
|---|
| Chemical Role: | antioxidant A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides. |
| Biological Roles: | cofactor An organic molecule or ion (usually a metal ion) that is required by an enzyme for its activity. It may be attached either loosely (coenzyme) or tightly (prosthetic group). human metabolite Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in humans (Homo sapiens). Daphnia magna metabolite A Daphnia metabolite produced by the species Daphnia magna. water-soluble vitamin (role) Any vitamin that dissolves in water and readily absorbed into tissues for immediate use. Unlike the fat-soluble vitamins, they are not stored in the body and need to be replenished regularly in the diet and will rarely accumulate to toxic levels since they are quickly excreted from the body via urine. |
