Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), also known as thiamine diphosphate, is the active form of thiamine (vitamin B1). It serves as an essential cofactor for several enzymes that are crucial for carbohydrate metabolism. TPP plays a vital role in enzymatic processes that convert sugars into energy within cells, particularly in the Krebs cycle and the pentose phosphate pathway. The compound acts primarily by facilitating the decarboxylation of alpha-keto acids and the transfer of hydroxyalkyl groups. This function is critical in several key enzymes, including pyruvate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, which are involved in the metabolic pathways that convert nutrients into energy and are essential for cellular respiration. Due to its role in energy metabolism, TPP is crucial for the proper function of the nervous system, heart, and muscles.
