 |  | Menlaquinone 7 Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Description | Menaquinone 7 (MK-7) is a vitamin K2 analog that has been found in a variety of fermented foods. It increases osteocalcin, osteoprotegerin, and RANKL mRNA expression in osteoblastic MC3T3E cells. MK-7 (1 μM) increases alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium content in femoral-metaphyseal tissues isolated from normal and skeletal-unloaded rats. In vivo, MK-7 (100 μg/g diet) inhibits aortic and myocardial calcification and decreases aortic alkaline phosphatase tissue concentrations in a rat model of extraosseous calcification. It also increases trabecular number, bone mineral density, and bone mineral content in a rat model of ovariectomy-induced bone loss. |  | Chemical Properties | Light Yellow Crystalline Solid |  | Uses | Vitamin (prothrombogenic) |  | Uses | Menaquinones are isoprenoid quinones of the naphthalene series and belongs to the K2 Vitamin homologs. Menaquinones were originally discovered as the anti-hemorrhagic factor and now encompasses a vari
ety of physiological processes. Menaquinone 7 belongs to the class of K2-Vitamins homologs. Menaquinone 7 has been identified as the most bioactive cofactor for the carboxylation reaction of Gla-prote
ins such as osteocalcin and matrix-Gla protein, which plays a crucial role in building and maintaining overall bone health. |  | Uses | Vitamin K2 (MK-7)-(5,6,7,8-d4,2-methyl-d3) can be used as a stable isotope internal standard for data interpretation in specific biological samples. |  | Definition | ChEBI: A menaquinone whose side-chain contains seven isoprene units in an all-trans-configutation. |  | General Description | Vitamin K2, also known as menaquinone, is a polyisoprenoid-substituted?napthoquinone. Menaquinone-7 (MK-7) is a subtype of vitamin K2. It is found in animals, soy protein, fermented products and is primarily produced by bacteria. Vitamin K2 (MK-7)-(5,6,7,8-d4,2-methyl-d3) is a deuterated vitamin K2 wherein C-5, C-6, C-7, C-8, and 2-methyl protons are replaced by deuterium. |
