malfunction | depletion of the protein disulfide formation activity of the enzyme in the endoplasmic reticulum results in cell death. Knockdown of the enzyme results in no detectable increase in expression of the ER Hsp70 chaperone BiP nor evidence of Xbp-1 splicing when measured on the final day of knockdown, indicating that an unfolded protein response is not being induced | Homo sapiens |
metabolism | VKOR contributes to an oxidizing endoplasmic reticulum environment under conditions of endoplasmic reticulum oxidoreductin and peroxiredoxin IV deficiency | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | vitamin K epoxide reductase contributes to protein disulfide formation and redox homeostasis within the endoplasmic reticulum,depletion of the activity results in cell death, both peroxiredoxin IV and VKOR support cell growth and viability in the face of endoplasmic reticulum oxidoreductin depletion | Homo sapiens |
