Description
COENZYME Q10, or ubiquinone, is a fat soluble benzoquinone isoprenoid derivative (10 isoprene units) that acts as an electron shuttle in the production of ATP, and involved in one of the most important energy transudation processes in the biosphere; oxidative phosphorylation. CoQ10 can shuttle one or two electrons, and is typically located within the lipid bilayer of the mitochondria.
