代谢
水溶性维生素K或2-甲基-1,4-萘醌是一种合成维生素K类似物,通过微粒体NADPH-细胞色素P450还原酶和线粒体NADH-泛醌氧化还原酶(复合物I)等酶的作用下进行一电子还原,导致氧化还原循环,或者通过NAD(P)H-醌氧化还原酶进行两电子还原而解毒。维生素K是一组脂溶性、疏水性的维生素,自然存在两种形式(以及3种合成形式):维生素K1,存在于植物中,和维生素K2,由细菌合成。维生素K是重要的饮食成分,因为它作为辅因子在激活维生素K依赖性蛋白质中是必需的。维生素K的代谢主要发生在肝脏。在第一步中,维生素K通过NADPH脱氢酶等醌还原酶还原为其醌形式。还原型维生素K是转化维生素K依赖性蛋白前体到其活性状态所需的形态。它作为膜整合酶维生素K依赖性γ-羧化酶(以及水和二氧化碳作为共底物)的辅因子,该羧化酶将谷氨酸残基羧化为某些蛋白质上的γ-羧基-谷氨酸残基,从而激活它们。每个转化的谷氨酸残基产生一个维生素K环氧化物分子,某些蛋白质可能有一个以上的残基需要羧化。为了结束循环,维生素K环氧化物通过维生素K环氧化物还原酶酶返回到维生素K,这也是一种膜整合蛋白。维生素K依赖性蛋白质包括各种重要的凝血因子,如凝血酶原。华法林和其他香豆素类药物通过阻断维生素K环氧化物还原酶起到抗凝作用。
Menadione or 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone is a synthetic vitamin K analog, undergoes 1-electron reduction by enzymes such as microsomal NADPH–cytochrome P450 reductase and mitochondrial NADH–ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I), resulting in redox cycling, or it detoxification via two-electron reduction by NAD(P)H–quinone oxidoreductase. Vitamin K is a group of lipophilic, hydrophobic vitamins that exist naturally in two forms (and in 3 synthetic forms): vitamin K1, which is found in plants, and vitamin K2, which is synthesized by bacteria. Vitamin K is an important dietary component because it is necessary as a cofactor in the activation of vitamin K dependent proteins. Metabolism of vitamin K occurs mainly in the liver. In the first step, vitamin K is reduced to its quinone form by a quinone reductase such as NADPH dehydrogenase. Reduced vitamin K is the form required to convert vitamin K dependent protein precursors to their active states. It acts as a cofactor to the integral membrane enzyme vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxylase (along with water and carbon dioxide as co-substrates), which carboxylates glutamyl residues to gamma-carboxy-glutamic acid residues on certain proteins, activating them. Each converted glutamyl residue produces a molecule of vitamin K epoxide, and certain proteins may have more than one residue requiring carboxylation. To end the cycle, the vitamin K epoxide is returned to vitamin K via the vitamin K epoxide reductase enzyme, also an integral membrane protein. The vitamin K dependent proteins include various important coagulation factors, such as prothrombin. Warfarin and other coumarin drugs act as anticoagulants by blocking vitamin K epoxide reductase.
