KEGG   ENZYME: 1.1.4.1Help
Entry
EC 1.1.4.1                  Enzyme                                 

Name vitamin-K-epoxide reductase (warfarin-sensitive)
Class Oxidoreductases;
Acting on the CH-OH group of donors;
With a disulfide as acceptor
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname 2-methyl-3-phytyl-1,4-naphthoquinone:oxidized-dithiothreitol
oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB) 2-methyl-3-phytyl-1,4-naphthoquinone + oxidized dithiothreitol =
2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydro-2-methyl-3-phytyl-1,4-naphthoquinone +
1,4-dithiothreitol [RN:R03511]
Reaction(KEGG) R03511;
(other) R03645
Show
Substrate 2-methyl-3-phytyl-1,4-naphthoquinone [CPD:C02059];
oxidized dithiothreitol [CPD:C01119]
Product 2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydro-2-methyl-3-phytyl-1,4-naphthoquinone
[CPD:C05849];
1,4-dithiothreitol [CPD:C00265]
Inhibitor Warfarin [CPD:C01541]
Comment In the reverse reaction, vitamin K 2,3-epoxide is reduced to vitamin
K and possibly to vitamin K hydroquinone by 1,4-dithiothreitol,
which is oxidized to a disulfide; some other dithiols and
4-butanethiol can also act. Inhibited strongly by warfarin [cf. EC
1.1.4.2 vitamin-K-epoxide reductase (warfarin-insensitive)].
