General description

Coenzyme Q6 (CoQ6) is also known as ubiquinone-30 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is a flavoprotein that utilizes flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as a co-factor for the synthesis of coenzyme Q. It is composed of three conserved regions- a FAD/ nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) + hydrogen (H) (NADH) binding motif, an adenine di phosphate (ADP) binding motif and a consensus sequence, that binds to the ribityl moiety of FAD.

Application

CoQ6 has been used:
  • as an internal standard for the liquid-chromatography mass-spectrometry for the quantification of CoQ6
  • to determine its effect on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)
  • in reversed-phase high pressure liquid chromatography to quantify yeast quinones

Biochem/physiol Actions

Coenzyme Q6 (CoQ6) in the plasma membrane of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is involved in the ascorbate stabilization at the plasma membrane.
