MedKoo Cat#: 596078 | Name: Coenzyme Q12

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Ubiquinone, also known as coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), is a lipid-soluble benzoquinone compound that functions as an essential electron carrier in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. It shuttles electrons between Complexes I/II and Complex III, facilitating ATP production through oxidative phosphorylation. Structurally, ubiquinone consists of a quinone head group and a hydrophobic isoprenoid tail, which anchors it within the inner mitochondrial membrane.
