Protein Induced by Vitamin K Absence or Antagonist-II (PIVKA-II) also known as Des- -carboxy-prothrombin (DCP) is an abnormal form of prothrombin Normally the prothrombin s 10 glutamic acid residues (Glu) in the -carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) domain at positions 6 7 14 16 19 20 25 26 29 and 32 are -carboxylated to Gla by vitamin-K dependent - glutamyl carboxylase in the liver and then secreted into plasma In patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) -carboxylation of prothrombin is impaired so that PIVKA-II is formed instead of prothrombin PIVKA-II is considered as is an efficient biomarker specific for HCC
