ENZYME entry: EC 1.17.4.4

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.17.4.4
Accepted Name
vitamin-K-epoxide reductase (warfarin-sensitive)
Alternative Name(s)
phylloquinone epoxide reductase
vitamin K1 epoxide reductase
Reaction catalysed
  • phylloquinone + [protein]-disulfide + H2O = 2,3-epoxyphylloquinone + [protein]-dithiol
  • phylloquinol + [protein]-disulfide = phylloquinone + [protein]-dithiol
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme catalyzes the reduction of vitamin K 2,3-epoxide, which is formed by the activity of EC 4.1.1.90, back to its phylloquinol active form.
  • The enzyme forms a tight complex with EC 5.3.4.1, which transfers the required electrons from newly-synthesized proteins by catalyzing the formation of disulfide bridges.
  • The enzyme acts on the epoxide forms of both phylloquinone (vitamin K1) and menaquinone (vitamin K2).
  • Inhibited strongly by (S)-warfarin and ferulenol.
  • Formerly EC 1.1.4.1.
