Component
Gamma-glutamyl carboxylase / GGCX
Vitamin K-dependent carboxylase converting selected protein glutamate residues to gamma-carboxyglutamate.
8 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.
How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
What it acts on
A concentrated vitamin K-dependent carboxylase preparation converted glutamate residues of decarboxylated bovine osteocalcin into gamma-carboxyglutamate in vitro.

### k2-fsp1-carboxylation A CRISPR screen independently identified FSP1 as the warfarin-resistant vitamin K reductase; FSP1 inhibition impaired vitamin K-dependent carboxylation. Condition category: normal nutrient_topic: Vitamin K2 research collection; topical membership is not evidence of a direct dietary effect. plain_language: The antioxidant enzyme also helps supply cofactor for protein modification. organism: Human vitamin K-dependent reporter cells tissue_or_cell_type: Warfarin-resistant quinone reduction experimental_model: Genome-wide CRISPR screen and reporter biochemistry limitations: Supports cycle biochemistry; a different ferroptosis defense enzyme need not share the same vitamin K function. exposure: FSP1 knockout/inhibition and DHODH comparison evidence_span: {"source_cache": "artifacts/k2-research/36788244.abstract.txt", "locator": "Exact primary indexed abstract; zero-based, end-exclusive Unicode character offsets", "file_sha256": "5fda09197d386351a1b1d261c9b385db36e02eab0c238bf18599d7086b501f93", "start_char": 0, "end_char": 1359, "text_sha256": "5fda09197d386351a1b1d261c9b385db36e02eab0c238bf18599d7086b501f93"} [k2-p36788244] A genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen identifies FSP1 as the warfarin-resistant vitamin K reductase.
