Vitamin K1 2,3-Epoxide (Cat No.:C000816) is a chemical derivative of vitamin K1, an essential nutrient involved in blood clotting and bone health. It is an epoxide form of vitamin K1, characterized by a double bond of oxygen in the 2nd and 3rd positions of the vitamin’s side chain. This compound plays a role in understanding the metabolism and activation of vitamin K1 in biological systems. Researchers utilize it to study the enzymatic processes that convert vitamin K1 into its active form, contributing to insights into coagulation mechanisms and potential therapeutic applications in clotting disorders.
