EC 1.6.5.12     
Accepted name: demethylphylloquinone reductase
Reaction: demethylphylloquinone + NADPH + H+ = demethylphylloquinol + NADP+
Glossary: demethylphylloquinone = 2-phytyl-1,4-naphthoquinone
Other name(s): ndbB (gene name); NDC1 (gene name); demethylphylloquinone:NADPH oxidoreductase
Systematic name: NADPH:demethylphylloquinone oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme, found in plants and cyanobacteria, is involved in the biosynthesis of phylloquinone (vitamin K1), an electron carrier associated with photosystem I. The enzyme is a type II NADPH dehydrogenase and requires a flavine adenine dinucleotide cofactor.

EC 2.5.1.130     
Accepted name: 2-carboxy-1,4-naphthoquinone phytyltransferase
Reaction: phytyl diphosphate + 2-carboxy-1,4-naphthoquinone = demethylphylloquinone + diphosphate + CO2

Glossary: 2-carboxy-1,4-naphthoquinone = 1,4-dioxo-2-naphthoic acid
Other name(s): menA (gene name); ABC4 (gene name); 1,4-dioxo-2-naphthoate phytyltransferase; 1,4-diketo-2-naphthoate phytyltransferase
Systematic name: phytyl-diphosphate:2-carboxy-1,4-naphthoquinone phytyltransferase
Comments: This enzyme, found in plants and cyanobacteria, catalyses a step in the synthesis of phylloquinone (vitamin K1), an electron carrier associated with photosystem I. The enzyme catalyses the transfer of the phytyl chain synthesized by EC 1.3.1.83, geranylgeranyl diphosphate reductase, to 2-carboxy-1,4-naphthoquinone.
