The <scene name='90/904314/Anchor_domain/3'> anchor domain</scene> sticks out from the side of VKOR with the primary role of stabilizing the enzyme within the membrane. To accomplish this, hydrophilic | The <scene name='90/904314/Anchor_domain/3'> anchor domain</scene> sticks out from the side of VKOR with the primary role of stabilizing the enzyme within the membrane. To accomplish this, hydrophilic residues are positioned to interact with the outer hydrophilic leaflet of the bilipid membrane, while the hydrophobic residues on the anchor have strong interactions with the inner hydrophobic leaflet of the bilipid membrane. These interactions allow for VKOR to remain in the proper membrane arrangement and proximity for Vitamin K to bind and be activated. These membrane interactions allow for VKOR to stabilize in the membrane for proper activation of Vitamin K and catalytic function of the enzyme. | ||
