VKORC1L1
Description
The VKORC1L1 (vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 like 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 7.
VKORC1L1 plays a vital role in vitamin K metabolism, specifically by reducing inactive vitamin K 2,3-epoxide to its active form. This activity potentially contributes to vitamin K's protective effects against oxidative stress. Moreover, VKORC1L1 participates in the vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxylation of Glu residues within target proteins.
VKORC1L1 is also known as -.
