Ubiquinones Usage And Synthesis
Definition
ChEBI: 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-s ecific. Ubiquinones are involved in the control of mitochondrial electron transport, and are also potent anti-oxidants.
