COQ5
Description
The COQ5 (coenzyme Q5, methyltransferase) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 12.
COQ5 refers to the human gene involved in the biosynthesis of ubiquinone, a crucial molecule for cellular respiration.
COQ5 acts as a methyltransferase, facilitating the conversion of 2-polyprenyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinol (DDMQH2) into 2-polyprenyl-3-methyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinol (DMQH2).
COQ5 is also known as COQ10D9.
