Q

describe this effect of Warfarin

A

EPOXIDE REDUCTASE - used to recycle vitamin K so it can produce more coag factors
BUT this function gets blocked by Warfarin, resulting in the inability to re-oxidize and make more coag factors

Q

describe the image regarding Heparin

A

NORMAL MW Heparin (top image) - has a longer tail, so is able to bind to thrombin as well as factor X to prevent clotting

LOW MW Heparin (lower image) - has a shorter tail, so is only able to bind factor X, NOT thrombin
