As its name suggests, the vitamin plays an important role in blood coagulation. Specifically, there are certain proteins in our blood, such as prothrombin, that are involved in blood clotting, but they aren’t immediately active when they’re first produced. These proteins need vitamin K to help make modifications to them, 5 6 7 8 9 transforming inactive prothrombin into active thrombin. Thrombin, in turn, converts proteins in our blood into long strands that help the blood form a solid clot.
The flow looks something like this:
Our liver produces inactive prothrombin.
Prothrombin is modified by a few different enzymes, including vitamin K, to create active thrombin.
Thrombin circulates in our bloodstream, watching, waiting…
When there’s damage to a 0 1 2 3 4 blood vessel, platelets trigger the thrombin to make fibrin strands to help block the hole.
Without vitamin K, this whole 8 9 process falls apart; it’s critical for our ability to make active thrombin.
