General annotation (Comments)

Function

Prenyltransferase that mediates the formation of menaquinone-4 (MK-4), a vitamin K2 isoform present at high concentrations in the brain, kidney and pancreas. Mediates the conversion of phylloquinone (PK) into menaquinone-4 (MK-4), probably by cleaving the side chain of phylloquinone (PK) to release 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (menadione; K3) and then prenylating it with geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) to form MK-4. Ref.9

Pathway

Cofactor biosynthesis; menaquinone biosynthesis. Ref.9

Subcellular location

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Mitochondrion Ref.1 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.16.

Tissue specificity

Ubiquitously expressed. Ref.1

Involvement in disease

Corneal dystrophy, crystalline, of Schnyder (SCCD) [MIM:121800]: A form of stromal corneal dystrophy characterized by corneal clouding, resulting from abnormal deposition of cholesterol and phospholipids, and decreased visual acuity. Typically, ring-shaped yellow-white opacities composed of innumerable fine needle-shaped crystals form in Bowman layer and the adjacent anterior stroma of the central cornea. The crystals usually remain in the anterior third of the cornea. The corneal epithelium and endothelium as well as Descemet membrane are spared.
Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.12 Ref.13 Ref.14 Ref.15 Ref.16

Miscellaneous

Strongly down-regulated in transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and in prostate carcinoma (at protein level).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the UbiA prenyltransferase family.

Alternative products

This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: Q9Y5Z9-1)

Isoform 2 (identifier: Q9Y5Z9-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     177-179: GIG → VLI
     180-338: Missing.
Note: No experimental confirmation available.
