| ncRNA Symbol: | COQ2 | | Full Name: | coenzyme Q2, polyprenyltransferase | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | CL640|COQ10D1|MSA1|PHB:PPT | | Chromosome: | chr4 | | Strand: | - | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 83261536 | End Site(bp): | 83284914 | | | Gene Summary: | This gene encodes an enzyme that functions in the final steps in the biosynthesis of CoQ (ubiquinone), a redox carrier in the mitochondrial respiratory chain and a lipid-soluble antioxidant. This enzyme, which is part of the coenzyme Q10 pathway, catalyzes the prenylation of parahydroxybenzoate with an all-trans polyprenyl group. Mutations in this gene cause coenzyme Q10 deficiency, a mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, and also COQ2 nephropathy, an inherited form of mitochondriopathy with primary renal involvement.
