General description

Protects cells against damaging effects of radiation and oxygen radicals. Increases rate of mineralization in osteoblasts. A cofactor involved in hydroxylation of proline and lysine. Reduces Na⁺ - Ca²⁺ exchange in cultured astrocytes. Modulates cyclic nucleotide levels in B and T cells. Inhibits apoptosis in cultured rat ovarian follicles.
