The directed movement of vitamins into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. A vitamin is one of a number of unrelated organic substances that occur in many foods in small amounts and that are necessary in trace amounts for the normal metabolic functioning of the body. The directed movement of cobalamin (vitamin B12), a water-soluble vitamin characterized by possession of a corrin nucleus containing a cobalt atom, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of thiamin into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Thiamin is vitamin B1, a water soluble vitamin present in fresh vegetables and meats, especially liver. The directed movement of L-ascorbic acid into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. L-ascorbate, (2R)-2-[(1S)-1,2-dihydroxyethyl]-4-hydroxy-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-olate, is vitamin C and has co-factor and anti-oxidant activities in many species. The directed movement of folic acid (pteroylglutamic acid) into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Folic acid is widely distributed as a member of the vitamin B complex and is essential for the synthesis of purine and pyrimidines. The directed movement of a cell, substance or cellular entity, such as a protein complex or organelle, to a specific location. The directed movement of dehydroascorbate into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Dehydroascorbate, 5-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl)furan-2,3,4(5H)-trione, is an oxidized form of vitamin C. The directed movement of any of the vitamin B6 compounds -- pyridoxal, pyridoxamine and pyridoxine and the active form, pyridoxal phosphate -- into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of retinol into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Retinol is vitamin A1, 2,6,6-trimethyl-1-(9'-hydroxy-3',7'-dimethylnona-1',3',5',7'-tetraenyl)cyclohex-1-ene, one of the three components that makes up vitamin A. The directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of, within or between cells, or within a multicellular organism by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of biotin into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Biotin is cis-tetrahydro-2-oxothieno(3,4-d)imidazoline-4-valeric acid; the (+) enantiomer is very widely distributed in cells and serves as a carrier in a number of enzymatic beta-carboxylation reactions. The directed movement of riboflavin into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin, converted in the cell to FMN and FAD, cofactors required for the function of flavoproteins. The directed movement of carnitine into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Carnitine is a compound that participates in the transfer of acyl groups across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The process whereby a vitamin is transported from one side of a membrane to the other. A vitamin is one of a number of unrelated organic substances that occur in many foods in small amounts and that are necessary in trace amounts for the normal metabolic functioning of the body.
