Vitamin K metabolism and activation of dependent proteins (Homo sapiens)
From WikiPathways
Description
Vitamin K is recycled in the liver in order to maintain sufficient levels for activating vitamin K-dependent proteins (VKDP), including certain coagulation factors. In this process, vitamin K1 (taken up from the diet) is converted to vitamin K hydroquinone (KH2), either by the dithiol-dependent vitamin K-epoxide reductase (VKOR) or by NAD(P)H dehydrogenase quinone 1. KH2 is in turn oxidized to vitamin K epoxide (KO) by the enzyme gamma-glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX). During this conversion, GGCX activates the VKDPs by converting glutamate (Glu) to gamma-carboxyglutamate (Gla). Lastly, KO is converted back into vitamin K quinone by VKOR.
Warfarin, a drug commonly used as a anticoagulant, inhibits VKOR, thus reducing the levels of VKH2 in the bloodstream. A too high dosage of warfarin can lead to heavy bleeding, a life-threatening condition. Threatment of this condition is a high dosis of Vitamine K, which is reduced to VHK2 by FSP1, a warfarin resistant reductase. The influence of FSP1 on this process, as well as its potential to eliminate lipid perozyl radicals, has been recently described in Nature(2022) by Mishima et al.: A non-canonical vitamin K cycle is a potent ferroptosis suppressor.
