Vitamin K epOxide Reductase Complex subunit 1 (VKORC) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the VKORC1 gene. This enzymatic protein complex is responsible for reducing vitamin K 2,3-epoxide to its active form, which is important for effective clotting (coagulation). In humans, mutations in this gene can be associated with deficiencies in vitamin-K-dependent clotting factors.
