Q

What’s the common pathway for coagulation?

Extrinsic Pathway?

Intrinsic pathway?

A

Factor X with cofactor 5 –> Factor 2 aka thrombin –> Factor 1 aka fibrinogen –> Clot with factor 13 that helps crosslink

Glutamic acid (Glu) is converted to ?
factors are now functional and localize to membranes via __

Q

Why are they considered Vitamin K Dependent?

A

Gamma carboxylation requires vitamin K
- this reaction oxidizes vitamin K to vitamin K epoxide
vitamin K must be restored by VKOR or dietary intake
