General description

Coenzyme 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.[1]

Application

Coenzyme Q1 has been used to measure the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex 1 activity.[2][3][4][5]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Coenzyme Q1 (CoQ1) is a 1 isoprenyl group (not naturally occurring) member of a family of ubiquinones that share a quinine chemical group but differ in the number of isoprenyl chemical subunits in their tail. The CoQ compounds are lipid soluble components of cell membranes where they perform multiple functions such as electron and proton transport. The most well studied CoQ compound is CoQ10. CoQ1 is frequently used in comparison studies on the effect of isoprenyl chain length on CoQ functions or distribution and to identify quinone reductases.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. What is the concentration?

    1 answer
    1. Product C7956 may present as a viscous liquid. Although a specific density has not been assigned due to the product being packaged by weight, there is a predicted density for this compound which is approximately 1.10 ±0.1 g/mL. This implies that for every 10 mg of material, the volume is expected to be around 9.1 µL. The molecular weight of this product is 250.29 g/mol, resulting in a concentration of roughly 4.39 M.
