Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Hexaprenyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone
Description2-Hexaprenyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone belongs to the class of organic compounds known as polyprenylbenzoquinones. Polyprenylbenzoquinones are compounds containing a polyisoprene chain attached to a quinone at the second ring position. 2-Hexaprenyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 2-Hexaprenyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. In cattle, 2-hexaprenyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone is involved in the metabolic pathway called ubiquinone biosynthesis pathway.

General function:
Coenzyme transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Methyltransferase required for the conversion of 2-polyprenyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinol (DDMQH2) to 2-polyprenyl-3-methyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinol (DMQH2).
Gene Name:
COQ5
Uniprot ID:
Q0P5A2
Molecular weight:
37591.0
Reactions
2-Hexaprenyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone + S-Adenosylmethionine → 2-Hexaprenyl-3-methyl-6-methoxy-1,4 benzoquinone + S-Adenosylhomocysteinedetails
General function:
Coenzyme transport and metabolism
Specific function:
FAD-dependent monooxygenase required for the C5-ring hydroxylation during ubiquinone biosynthesis. Catalyzes the hydroxylation of 3-polyprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid to 3-polyprenyl-4,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid. The electrons required for the hydroxylation reaction may be funneled indirectly from NADPH via a ferredoxin/ferredoxin reductase system to COQ6.
