In this video I have explained all the high yield points about vitamin K. I have explained the sources of vitamin K1 phylloquinone, vitamin K2 menaquinone, vitamin K3 menadione. The major sources are green leafy vegetables like spinach, significant source of vitamin K is bacterial flora. Main function of vitamin K is post translational carboxylation of glutamate to make gla. Clotting factors activation, activation of protein C and protein S, matrix gla proteins, osteocalcin in osteobalsts. Vitamin K helps in clotting process, bone health, preventing atherosclerosis and thrombosis. Vitamin K deficiency can lead to hemorrhagic disease of newborn or excess bleeding adults.
Understanding cellular metabolic process will help us to understand the disease process when some metabolic events go wrong!! With this blog I would like to share my medical biochemistry knowledge with you!!!
