Metabolite Identification
Common NameMenaquinone MK-7
DescriptionMenaquinone MK-7 is a vitamin K2 compound belonging to the chemical class of naphthoquinones. Its chemical structure features a naphthalene ring with a long isoprenoid side chain, which is critical for its biological activity and solubility. MK-7 is involved in various biochemical pathways, particularly in the synthesis of proteins that are essential for blood coagulation and bone metabolism. It plays a role in the carboxylation of specific glutamic acid residues in vitamin K-dependent proteins, enhancing their functionality. Additionally, MK-7 has been incorporated into innovative biomedical applications, such as a hybrid coating with vancomycin, zoledronic acid, and menaquinone MK-7, aimed at improving biocompatibility in medical devices (PMID:40863289 ). This highlights its potential utility beyond classical vitamin K functions, suggesting a broader scope of applications in enhancing therapeutic efficacy and safety in clinical settings.
