Vitamins A, D, E, and K are classified as fat-soluble. Metabolic pathways by which dietary precursors of vitamins A (Harrison 2005) and K (Shearer et al. 2012) are converted to active forms are annotated here. The conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol is converted to active vitamin D (Dusso et al. 2005) is annotated as part of metabolism of steroids. (Vitamin E (tocopherol) is available in active form from the diet.)
