Thiamine or thiamin or vitamin B1 (
/ˈθaɪ.əmɨn/ thy-ə-min), named as the "thio-vitamine" ("sulfur-containing vitamin)" is a water-soluble vitamin of the B complex. First named aneurin for the detrimental neurological effects if not present in the diet, it was eventually assigned the generic descriptor name vitamin B1. Its phosphate derivatives are involved in many cellular processes. The best-characterized form is thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), a coenzyme in the catabolism of sugars and amino acids. In yeast, TPP is also required in the first step of alcoholic fermentation.
