Random Question, should we know the functions of any specific IG's or Vitamins?

I know IGG is with the placenta transferring anti bodies. IGA deals with mucus... Vitamin K is in blood clotting....any other important ones?

Vit K is made by bacertia in the large intestine. It has a lot to do with coagulation and anticoagulation and thrombonin.

Here is a good site with lots of info!

I forgot to add, someone mentioned pernicious anemia...lack of B12. Possibly because parietal cells (stomach) aren't making enough intrinsic factor for absorption.
