Phosphate Derivatives of Thiamine and Na+ Channel in Conducting Membranes

Abstract
The results show that thiamine derivatives are copurified with the specific proteins forming the Na+ channel in conducting membranes. Therefore, thiamine derivatives could well play a specific role in the molecular aspects of bioelectrogenesis, an interpretation that could help explain the neurological symptoms observed in human pathology as well as in animals experimentally rendered deficient in vitamin Bl.
