The VKOR enzyme is made up of four transmembrane helices: T1, | The VKOR enzyme is made up of four transmembrane helices: T1, <scene name='90/904321/Tm2/1'>TM2</scene>, T3, and T4.(Grey) Each of these helices come together to form a central ligand binding pocket. This central pocket is the active site where conserved Cysteines: C132 and C135 are located. In the cap domain are important regions that are significant for Vitamin K binding, and the overall function of Vitamin K Epoxide Reductase, including the Anchor(Green), Cap Sequence (Blue), Beta Hairpin (Purple), and 3-4 Loop (Pink). | ||
The <scene name='90/904321/Anchor/3'>Anchor</scene> attaches to the cap domain of the Vitamin K Epoxide Reductase Enzyme and is partially embedded in the Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane. This both stabilizes the enzyme in the membrane, and stabilizes the cap domain over the active site. | The <scene name='90/904321/Anchor/3'>Anchor</scene> attaches to the cap domain of the Vitamin K Epoxide Reductase Enzyme and is partially embedded in the Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane.
