Quinones in long-lived clk-1 mutants of Caenorhabditis elegans.

FEBS letters - 13 Feb 2002

Abstract excerpt

Ubiquinone (UQ) (coenzyme Q) is a lipophilic redox-active molecule that functions as an electron carrier in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Electron transfer via UQ involves the formation of semiubiquinone radicals, which causes the generation of superoxide radicals upon reaction with oxygen. In the reduced form, UQ functions as a lipid-soluble antioxidant, and protects cells from lipid peroxidation....
