Vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR) is an enzyme (EC 1.1.4.1) that reduces vitamin K after it has been oxidised in the carboxylation of glutamic acid residues in blood coagulation enzymes. VKORC is a member of a large family of predicted enzymes that are present in vertebrates, Drosophila, plants, bacteria and archaea.[1] Its C1 subunit (VKORC1) is the target of anticoagulant warfarin.[2][3] Four cysteine residues and one residue, which is either serine or threonine, are identified as likely active-site residues.[1] In some plant and bacterial homologues, the VKORC1 homologous domain is fused with domains of the thioredoxin family of oxidoreductases.[1]
