Flavin Proteins

Flavin proteins are specialized molecules found in our cells that help with energy production and other vital processes. They contain a chemical group called flavin, derived from vitamins like B2 (riboflavin). These proteins act as helpers in enzymes, facilitating chemical reactions by transferring electrons, which is essential for cellular metabolism, respiration, and detoxification. By efficiently moving electrons, flavin proteins enable cells to generate energy from nutrients and maintain proper function. They are fundamental to many biological processes that keep us healthy and alive.
