Vitamin K epoxide, a product of gamma-carboxylation, must be rapidly recycled to its reduced form before it can be reused. The set of sequential reactions that guarantees vitamin K recycling is known as the vitamin K cycle. This review is focused on biochemical and genetic aspects of a recently characterized key enzyme of the cycle named vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1). This 163-amino acid...
