Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Calumenin, a molecular chaperone, exerts a regulatory effect on the vitamin K-dependent γ-carboxylation redox cycle that inhibits transfer of the reduced vitamin K from VKORC1, the pharmacological target of warfarin, to the γ-carboxylase. Because of its polymorphic structure and central role in the warfarin metabolic pathway, a contributory role for calumenin to warfarin dose variability has been...
