Vitamin K1 epoxide, also known as phylloquinone epoxide, is a metabolite of vitamin K1 (phylloquinone), which is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for blood clotting and bone metabolism. It is formed during the vitamin K cycle, a process that involves the conversion of vitamin K1 to its active form, vitamin K1 hydroquinone, and then to vitamin K1 epoxide. This epoxide form is subsequently reduced back to vitamin K1 hydroquinone, allowing the cycle to continue. The conversion of vitamin K1 to its epoxide form is catalyzed by the enzyme vitamin K epoxide reductase, which is crucial for maintaining the balance of vitamin K-dependent proteins in the body. Vitamin K1 epoxide itself is biologically inactive and serves as an intermediate in the recycling of vitamin K1.
The CAS Registry Mumber 85954-59-2 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 8,5,9,5 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 9 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 85954-59: (7*8)+(6*5)+(5*9)+(4*5)+(3*4)+(2*5)+(1*9)=182 182 % 10 = 2 So 85954-59-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
