This is the best illustrated video in biochemistry that I've ever seen! Such an incredible work!

[@amandaholladay916]

Super clear and informative. Thank you.

[@miliitremblay]

Really helpful thank you!!

[@user-fl7bn7ky9i]

Even my mother tongue is not English and I'm just a highschool student, I could fully understand the vitamin k cycle! Thanks for a brilliant video!

[@trevorg1558]

This just helped me with my vitamin K presentation like nothing else!!

[@annesears6757]

Thank you! Very helpful! As far as coronary artery calcification.... is that why increased vitamin K is good? Because it allows for the carboxylation to make Gla which grabs hold of calcium. Grabbing calcium prevents the calcification / accumulation in vessels?!?!?!

This video is an outstanding piece of succinct education. However, you keep saying 'here' but theres no on scrren reference point.

[@CatalystUniversity]

Thank you, and yes, I recorded several videos not realizing that there was no cursor.

I am taking Vitamin K2 do these have the same functions as the Ks above ?

[@user-lj1zx5kt7k]

Great!!!

[@CatalystUniversity]

Thank you!

[@mrkillerdildo]

Holy shit ! Thank you God bless you

[@CatalystUniversity]

You too! Thanks for the feedback.

What is Vitamin K's role in the biosynthesis of prothrombin? or is Vit K only responsible for converting prothrombin to thrombin? I have read in many places that Vit K is essential for the liver parenchyma cells to create prothrombin but I can't find the biochemistry behind that biosynthesis.

[@CatalystUniversity]

Vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors include factors II, VII, IX, X, proteins C and S. And Factor II is prothrombin. However, there are some other proteins that possibly require vitamin K including osteocalcin, matrix Gla protein, periostin, and growth arrest-specific protein 6.

I was looking for K2 metabolism :( ...
