ENZYME entry: EC 1.17.4.5

Accepted Name
vitamin-K-epoxide reductase (warfarin-insensitive)
Alternative Name(s)
vitamin K 2,3-epoxide reductase
Reaction catalysed
3-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-phytyl-2,3-dihydro-1,4-naphthoquinone + oxidized dithiothreitol = 1,4-dithiothreitol + 2,3-epoxyphylloquinone
Comment(s)
  • Vitamin K 2,3-epoxide is reduced to 3-hydroxy- (and 2-hydroxy-) vitamin K by 1,4-dithiothreitol, which is oxidized to a disulfide.
  • Not inhibited by warfarin (cf. EC 1.17.4.4).
  • Formerly EC 1.1.4.2.
