Molecular genetics of ubiquinone biosynthesis in animals.

Critical reviews in biochemistry and molecular biology - 1 Jan 2013

Wang Ying, Hekimi Siegfried

Abstract excerpt

Ubiquinone (UQ), also known as coenzyme Q (CoQ), is a redox-active lipid present in all cellular membranes where it functions in a variety of cellular processes. The best known functions of UQ are to act as a mobile electron carrier in the mitochondrial respiratory chain and to serve as a lipid soluble antioxidant in cellular membranes. All eukaryotic cells synthesize their own UQ. Most of the current knowledge...
