Sensitivity of Caenorhabditis elegans clk-1 mutants to ubiquinone side-chain length reveals multiple ubiquinone-dependent processes.

Abstract excerpt

Ubiquinone (coenzyme Q, or Q) is a membrane constituent, whose head group is capable of accepting and donating electrons and whose lipidic side chain is composed of a variable number of isoprene subunits. A possible role for Q as a dietary antioxidant for treating conditions that involve altered cellular redox states is being intensely studied. Mutations in the clk-1 gene of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans...
