Description and Uses

Vitamin K is a dietary nutrient essential for the normal biosynthesis of factors that are required for blood clotting. It has also been shown to inhibit cell growth. Vitamin K₁ 2,3-epoxide is the inactive metabolite of vitamin K₁. During clotting, vitamin K₁ is converted to this epoxide form and then rapidly reduced back to the vitamin by a microsomal epoxide reductase. This is referred to as the vitamin K epoxide cycle. Certain anticoagulants target clotting factor synthesis by inhibiting the recycling of vitamin K₁ from the inactive epoxide.

A metabolite of Vitamin K1 (V676080).
