Menaquinone 10 is a cofactor that is important for the activation of enzymes such as pyruvate carboxylase, alpha-ketoglutarate decarboxylase, and mitochondrial electron transport chain. It also has immunomodulatory effects and can be synthesized by the human body from vitamin K. Furthermore, it has been shown to have antioxidant properties and can bind to selenium compounds. Menaquinone 10 is an important component in bacterial cell membranes due to its ability to activate membrane-bound enzymes. Menaquinone 10 can also be used as a biomarker of selenium status in humans. The activation energy of menaquinone 10 has been determined using particle acceleration techniques and tryptophan fluorescence spectroscopy. Menaquinone 10 has been shown to be effective against bacterial strains such as Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. This compound is activated by growth factors such as fatty acids, which are found in the cell membrane
