PDSS2 decaprenyl diphosphate synthase subunit 2

Gene ID: 57107, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DLP1; COQ1B; hDLP1; COQ10D3; C6orf210; bA59I9.3

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that synthesizes the prenyl side-chain of coenzyme Q, or ubiquinone, one of the key elements in the respiratory chain. The gene product catalyzes the formation of all trans-polyprenyl pyrophosphates from isopentyl diphosphate in the assembly of polyisoprenoid side chains, the first step in coenzyme Q biosynthesis. Defects in this gene are a cause of coenzyme Q10 deficiency.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
