definition
Protein involved in the synthesis of ascorbate, the ionized form of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Ascorbic acid is derived from glucose via the uronic acid pathway. This water-soluble vitamin is essential for the synthesis of bone, cartilage and dentine. It is required in the diet of primates and some other species that cannot synthesize L- ascorbic acid because of their deficiency in L-gulono-gamma-lactone oxidase, a key enzyme for the biosynthesis of this vitamin.
