Vitamin K plays a crucial role in blood clotting (coagulation). It is essential for the synthesis of several clotting factors (proteins) in the liver, including factor II (prothrombin), VII, IX, and X, as well as protein C and protein S. These factors are involved in the cascade of reactions that lead to the formation of a blood clot.
Vitamin K is necessary for the synthesis of proteins involved in the blood clotting process.
