Vitamin K epoxide reductases (VKOR) constitute a major family of integral membrane thiol oxidoreductases. In humans, VKOR sustains blood coagulation and bone mineralization through the vitamin K cycle. Previous chemical models assumed that the catalysis of human VKOR (hVKOR) starts from a fully redu...

Vitamin K (VK), a fat-soluble vitamin, functions as a co-factor during the gamma-carboxylation reaction that converts glutamic acid residues to gamma-carboxyglutamic acid residues in proteins transiting through the endoplasmic reticulum. Two enzymes are involved which together form the VK cycle: gam...

Hemostasis and various non-hemostatic physiologies require γ-carboxylation of designated glutamates in vitamin K-dependent proteins (VKDPs), a process coupled with epoxidation of vitamin K hydroquinone (KH2) by membrane-integrated γ-carboxylase (VKGC). To understand this unique biochemistry, we dete...

Warfarin targets human vitamin K epoxide reductase (hVKOR), a redox enzyme in the membrane of endoplasmic reticulum (ER), to prevent the formation of blood clots. Although warfarin has been a popular medication since 1954, its mechanism of action is still unclear. A fundamental issue is the controve...
