VKORC1: molecular target of coumarins [PDF]
The genetic diagnosis of a single family with combined vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency (VKCFD2, OMIM #607473) finally led to the identification and molecular characterization of vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKORC1). VKORC1 is the key enzyme of the vitamin K cycle and the molecular target of coumarins, which represent the most commonly ...

Variation in VKORC1 Is Associated with Vascular Dementia [PDF]
Background: The genetic variant rs9923231 ( VKORC1) is associated with differences in the coagulation of blood and consequentially with sensitivity to the drug warfarin. Variation in VKORC1 has been linked in a gene-based test to dementia/Alzheimer’s disease in the parents of participants,

Pharmacogenomic testing and its future in community pharmacy [PDF]
Although it is common to see pharmacogenomic testing used North America and Australia, it is not yet part of practice in the UK. With the promise of genomic screening becoming part of the NHS, pharmacists must equip themselves with a knowledge of how the

Economic evaluations of pharmacogenetic and pharmacogenomic screening tests : a systematic review : second update of the literature [PDF]
Objective : Due to extended application of pharmacogenetic and pharmacogenomic screening (PGx) tests it is important to assess whether they provide good value for money. This review provides an update of the literature. Methods : A literature search was

GGCX and VKORC1 inhibit osteocalcin endocrine functions [PDF]
Osteocalcin (OCN) is an osteoblast-derived hormone favoring glucose homeostasis, energy expenditure, male fertility, brain development, and cognition. Before being secreted by osteoblasts in the bone extracellular matrix, OCN is γ-carboxylated by the γ-carboxylase (GGCX) on three glutamic acid residues, a cellular process requiring reduction of vitamin

Structural Modeling Insights into Human VKORC1 Phenotypes [PDF]
Vitamin K 2,3-epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) catalyses the reduction of vitamin K and its 2,3-epoxide essential to sustain γ-carboxylation of vitamin K-dependent proteins. Two different phenotypes are associated with mutations in human VKORC1.

VKORC1 single nucleotide polymorphisms in rodents in Spain
Rodents are considered one of the animal pests with the greatest impact on agricultural production and public health. Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs), used as one of the most effective ways to control rodent populations worldwide, inhibit the vitamin K 2,3-epoxide reductase (VKORC1) enzyme involved in blood coagulation.
