Abstract | Vitamin K is a cofactor for γ-glutamyl carboxylase, which catalyzes the posttranslational conversion of specific glutamyl residues to γ-carboxyglutamyl residues in a variety of vitamin K-dependent proteins (VKDPs) involved in blood coagulation, bone and cartilage metabolism, signal transduction, and cell proliferation. Despite the great advances in the genetic, structural, and functional studies of VKDPs as well as the enzymes identified as part of the vitamin K cycle which enable it to be repeatedly recycled within the cells, little is known of the identity and roles of key regulators of vitamin K metabolism in mammals and humans. This review focuses on new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the intestinal absorption and in vivo tissue conversion of vitamin K1 to menaquinone-4 (MK-4) with special emphasis on two major advances in the studies of intestinal vitamin K transporters in enterocytes and a tissue MK-4 biosynthetic enzyme UbiA prenyltransferase domain-containing protein 1 (UBIAD1), which participates in the in vivo conversion of a fraction of dietary vitamin K1 to MK-4 in mammals and humans, although it remains uncertain whether UBIAD1 functions as a key regulator of intracellular cholesterol metabolism, bladder and prostate tumor cell progression, vascular integrity, and protection from oxidative stress. |
