Vitamin K: Vitamin k is a necessary participant in synthesis of several proteins that mediate both coagulation and anticoagulation. Vitamin k deficiency is manifest as a tendency to bleed excessively. Indeed, many commercially-available rodent poisons are compounds that interfere with vitamin k and kill by inducing lethal hemorrhage. Lack of vitamin c, the basic defect of scurvy, does not affect coagulation.
