Advantages of vitamin k

Mostly one will find vitamin K coming in the group of lipophilic, hydrophobic vitamins which is needed for posttranslational modification in specific proteins as having the usage in blood coagulation.

Mostly vitamin k  residues are located in the protein domains called as Gla domains. So this vitamin k's gla-residues  helps in the biological activity of all the popular Gla-proteins in the body.  So in this way vitamin k aids in the movement of three physiological processes like blood coagulation, bone metabolism, and osteocalcin , matrix gla protein , and Vascular biology and many more activities .
