Function

Involved in vitamin K metabolism. Catalytic subunit of the vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR) complex which reduces inactive vitamin K 2,3-epoxide to active vitamin K. Vitamin K is required for the gamma-carboxylation of various proteins, including clotting factors, and is required for normal blood coagulation, but also for normal bone development.

Alternative names

VKOR, MSTP134, MSTP576, UNQ308/PRO351, VKORC1, Vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1

Notes

ab251460 is the carrier-free version of Anti-VKORC1 antibody [EPR20245] ab206656.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

Vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) also known as VKOR is an enzyme that plays an important role in the vitamin K cycle. This enzyme has a molecular mass of approximately 18 kDa. VKORC1 helps in reducing vitamin K 23-epoxide to its active hydroquinone form which is necessary for the gamma-carboxylation of vitamin K-dependent proteins. These proteins are mainly responsible for blood coagulation. VKORC1 expression is high in the liver where much of the synthesis of clotting factors occurs.

Biological function summary

VKORC1 is integral to the vitamin K cycle an essential process for activating vitamin K-dependent clotting factors. It operates within a complex with its protein partner VKORC1-like 1 (VKORC1L1). This partnership is important for maintaining effective blood coagulation. The active form of vitamin K produced by VKORC1 ensures the activity of several blood clotting factors especially factors II VII IX and X. Without proper function of VKORC1 these factors would remain inactive.

Pathways

The vitamin K cycle is where VKORC1 makes a significant impact and this cycle is vital for blood coagulation processes. Specifically VKORC1 reduces vitamin K epoxide working closely with gamma-glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX) another enzyme that modifies the glutamic acid residues on clotting factors. This modification is important for their proper functioning within the coagulation cascade. The interplay between VKORC1 and GGCX directly connects to the synthesis of active blood coagulation proteins.

Associated diseases and disorders

VKORC1 mutations are notably linked to warfarin resistance and susceptibility to bleeding disorders. Warfarin is an anticoagulant that targets VKORC1 to prevent clot formation and variations in this protein can lead to altered drug response. Furthermore any dysfunction in VKORC1 may result in vitamin K epoxide reductase deficiency affecting coagulation and leading to increased bleeding risk. Mutations could also affect partner proteins like coagulation factors II and VII leading to disorders related to abnormal blood clotting processes.
