Pyrimidine phosphate is an intermediate in its biosynthesis which couples with a ring structure called thaizole.
Null mutations in the SLC19A2 gene result in Roger's disease wherein the transport of this molecule is hindered, while a cofactor which decarboxylates carboxylate in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is the pyrophosphate of this molecule. Pyrimidine phosphate is an intermediate in its biosynthesis which couples with a ring structure called thaizole. Christian Eijkman first observed the causes of the disease that occurs due to its deficiency, and it was discovered in rice bran which helped explain why more Asians suffered from its deficiency. For 10 points, identify this compound whose deficiency causes Beri Beri.
