Vitamin B2 and Glutathione Reductase in Red Blood Cells

Direct biochemical role: Yes, Vitamin B2 (in the form of riboflavin-5'-phosphate, or FAD) functions as an essential coenzyme for the enzyme glutathione reductase in red blood cells.
Enzyme activation: Glutathione reductase requires FAD derived from Vitamin B2 to properly function and reduce oxidized glutathione back into its active, reduced antioxidant form (GSH).
Clinical significance: Adequate Vitamin B2 status is critical for maintaining intracellular glutathione levels, which protect red blood cells against oxidative stress and hemolysis.
Nutritional assessment: Red blood cell glutathione reductase activity coefficient (EGRAC) is widely used as a reliable functional biomarker to assess a person's Vitamin B2 nutritional status.
