Abstract:Introduction: Vitamin C is a major antioxidant in plants and plays an important role in reducing the activity of reactive oxygen species. In humans, the main role of this molecule is the elimination of activity of active oxygen species along with being cofactor for many enzymes. Human is one of the few mammalian species that can not synthesize this vitamin and needs to get it through food sources. The GDP-Lgalactose phosphorylase (GGP) gene is one of the most important genes in the biosynthetic pathway of vita… Show more
