Answer:

Explanation:

Vitamin K functions as a coenzyme for vitamin K-dependent carboxylase, an enzyme required for the synthesis of proteins involved in hemostasis (blood clotting) and bone metabolism, and other diverse physiological functions [3,5].

Answer:-

Vitamin K

Explanation:-

Vitamin K functions as a coenzyme for vitamin K-dependent carboxylase, an enzyme required for the synthesis of proteins involved in hemostasis (blood clotting) and bone metabolism, and other diverse physiological functions . Prothrombin (clotting factor II) is a vitamin K-dependent protein in plasma that is directly involved in blood clotting. Warfarin and some anticoagulants used primarily in Europe antagonize the activity of vitamin K and, in turn, prothrombin . For this reason, individuals who are taking these anticoagulants need to maintain consistent vitamin K intakes.

Matrix Gla-protein, a vitamin K-dependent protein present in vascular smooth muscle, bone, and cartilage, is the focus of considerable scientific research because it might help reduce abnormal calcification . Osteocalcin is another vitamin K-dependent protein that is present in bone and may be involved in bone mineralization or turnover

Like dietary lipids and other fat-soluble vitamins, ingested vitamin K is incorporated into mixed micelles via the action of bile and pancreatic enzymes, and it is absorbed by enterocytes of the small intestine . From there, vitamin K is incorporated into chylomicrons, secreted into the lymphatic capillaries, transported to the liver, and repackaged into very low-density lipoproteins . Vitamin K is present in the liver and other body tissues, including the brain, heart, pancreas, and bone

In the circulation, vitamin K is carried mainly in lipoproteins . Compared to the other fat-soluble vitamins, very small amounts of vitamin K circulate in the blood. Vitamin K is rapidly metabolized and excreted. Based on phylloquinone measurements, the body retains only about 30% to 40% of an oral physiological dose, while about 20% is excreted in the urine and 40% to 50% in the feces via bile . This rapid metabolism accounts for vitamin K’s relatively low blood levels and tissue stores compared to those of the other fat-soluble vitamins

Hope this helps uh...!!!!
