CAS 1065-31-2: Coenzyme Q6

Description: Coenzyme Q6, also known as ubiquinone-6, is a naturally occurring compound that plays a crucial role in the electron transport chain, facilitating ATP production in cellular respiration. It is a lipophilic molecule, characterized by a long isoprenoid side chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties and allows it to integrate into the mitochondrial membrane. Coenzyme Q6 is involved in redox reactions, acting as an electron carrier between various enzyme complexes. Its antioxidant properties help protect cells from oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals. The compound is synthesized in the body and can also be obtained from dietary sources, particularly in meats, fish, and whole grains. While it is less commonly discussed than its more prevalent counterpart, Coenzyme Q10, Coenzyme Q6 shares similar biochemical functions and benefits. Research into its potential therapeutic applications is ongoing, particularly in the context of mitochondrial disorders and age-related diseases. Overall, Coenzyme Q6 is integral to cellular energy metabolism and maintaining cellular health.
