Structural Investigation of the Vitamin K Epoxide Reductase (VKORC1) Binding Site with Vitamin K
The vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKORC1) enzyme is of primary importance in many physiological processes, i.e., blood coagulation, energy metabolism, and arterial calcification prevention, due to its role in the vitamin K cycle. Indeed, VKORC1 catalyzes reduction of vitamin K epoxide to quinone and then to hydroquinone.

Human vitamin K epoxide reductase (hVKOR) is a small integral membrane protein involved in recycling vitamin K. hVKOR produces vitamin K hydroquinone, a crucial cofactor for γ-glutamyl carboxylation of vitamin K dependent proteins, which are necessary for blood coagulation.

Vitamin K quinone was shown to be an effective inhibitor of vitamin K epoxide reduction by whole rat liver microsomes. Observation of inhibition was dependent upon the mode of addition of the substrate and inhibitor suggesting segregation of the compounds into different microsomal vesicles under certain conditions.

Effect of n-methyl-thiotetrazole on vitamin k epoxide reductase
Thrombosis Research, 1986Clinical use of antibiotics containing a N-methyl-thiotetrazole (NMTT) side chain has been reported to be associated with an increased incidence of a vitamin K-responsive hypoprothrombinemia. Administration of NMTT to rats decreased the activity of the liver microsomal vitamin K epoxide reductase, increased the liver ratio of vitamin K epoxide to ...

Vitamin K 2,3-epoxide reductase and the vitamin K-dependent γ-carboxylation system
Thrombosis Research, 2002Vitamin K is an essential cofactor for post translational gamma-carboxylation of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors. The modification is carried out by a system of integral proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane where the warfarin sensitive vitamin K 2,3-epoxide reductase (VKOR) produces the reduced hydroquinone form of vitamin K (vit.

Vitamin K Epoxide Reductase Complex Subunit 1 (VKORC1): The Key Protein of the Vitamin K Cycle
Vitamin K epoxide, a by-product of the carboxylation of blood coagulation factors, is reduced to vitamin K by an enzymatic system possessing vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR) activity. This system is the target of coumarin-derived drugs widely used in thrombosis therapy and prophylaxis. Recently, the key protein of the VKOR system has been identified.

Vitamin K epoxide reductase activity in the metabolism of epoxides
Biochemical Pharmacology, 1985The importance of vitamin K epoxide reductase for the metabolism of a range of structurally diverse epoxides has been investigated. Vitamin K1 epoxide is reduced by rat liver microsomes at a rate of 0.47 nmoles/g liver/min. The rate of menadione oxide reduction is not significantly higher than the non-enzymatic reduction rate.
