Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting but must be enzymatically activated. This enzymatically activated form of vitamin K is a reduced form required for the carboxylation of glutamic acid residues in some blood-clotting proteins.VKORC1 is responsible for reducing vitamin K 2,3-epoxide to the enzymatically activated form. Fatal bleeding can be caused by vitamin K deficiency and by the vitamin K antagonist warfarin, and it is the product of this gene that is sensitive to warfarin. In humans, mutations in this gene can be associated with deficiencies in vitamin-K-dependent clotting factors and, in humans and rats, with warfarin resistance. Two pseudogenes have been identified on chromosome 1 and the X chromosome. Two alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described.
Human Vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate VKORC1 in samples. An antibody specific for VKORC1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyVKORC1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for VKORC1 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of VKORC1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
