Ubiquinones, also known as coenzyme Q or coenzyme Q10, are a class of compounds characterized by their role in the electron transport chain within mitochondria, where they facilitate ATP production. They are lipid-soluble molecules with a quinone structure, which allows them to participate in redox reactions, acting as electron carriers. Ubiquinones are synthesized in the body and are found in various tissues, particularly in the heart, liver, and kidneys. They exhibit antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect cellular components from oxidative damage. The compound associated with the CAS number 1339-63-5 specifically refers to a form of ubiquinone that may vary in its side chain length, influencing its biological activity and solubility. Ubiquinones are also available as dietary supplements, often marketed for their potential benefits in energy production, cardiovascular health, and overall well-being. Their bioavailability and efficacy can be influenced by factors such as formulation and individual metabolic differences.
