727-81-1COC1=C(OC)C(=O)C(CC=C(C)C)=C(C)C1=OSOECUQMRSRVZQQ-UHFFFAOYSA-NUbiquinones is any benzoquinone derived from 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methylbenzoquinone; one of a group of naturally occurring homologues. The redox-active quinoid moiety usually carries a polyprenoid side chain at position 6, the number of isoprenoid units in which is species-specific. Ubiquinones are involved in the control of mitochondrial electron transport, and are also potent anti-oxidants. It has a role as a mouse metabolite and an Escherichia coli metabolite. It is a member of 1,4-benzoquinones and a prenylquinone. It is functionally related to a 2,3-dihydroxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone.

DescriptionCooenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a component of the electron transport chain and participates in aerobic cellular respiration, generating energy in the form of ATP. CoQ1 is an amphipathic CoQ10 homolog that has a tail consisting of five isoprene units. It has been used as an electron acceptor to study a range of oxidoreductases as isolated enzymes, in subcellular fractions, in intact cells in culture, and in perfused organs. Ubiquinone analogs, including CoQ1, impact mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP) formation, as well as PTP-dependent cell death, in an analog- and cell-specific manner.
UsesCoenzyme Q1 has been used to measure the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex 1 activity.
UsesCoenzyme Q1 is an electron acceptor and a component of the electron transport chain. It also play a role in themitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP). Coenzyme Q1 is structurally similar tocoenzyme Q2 (C636450)andcoenzyme Q10 (C636501).
General DescriptionCoenzyme Q (CoQ) is localized to the hydrophobic domain of the phospholipid bilayer of mitochondria, plasma lipoproteins, and other biological membranes. It is a ubiquinone homolog with a short isoprenoid side chain.
