Vitamin K 2 (2-methyl-3-all-trans-polyprenyl-1,4-naphthoquinones), or the menaquinone series, is a group of prenylated naphthoquinone derivatives. The number of isoprene residues, where 1 isoprene unit consists of 5 carbons comprising the side chain, is used to characterise the menaquinone homologues. It is presented in an oil suspension that primarily contains MK-7, and MK-6 to a smaller extent.
Vitamin K (menaquinone) series with menaquinone-7 (MK-7)(n = 6) being C46H64O2, menaquinone-6 (MK-6)(n = 5) being C41H56O2 and menaquinone-4 (MK-4)(n = 3) being C31H40O2.
