COQ7: Proteins and Enzymes

The protein encoded by the COQ7 gene is similar to a mitochondrial di-iron containing hydroxylase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that is involved with ubiquinone biosynthesis. Mutations in the yeast gene lead to slower development and longer life span. Transcript variants have been described for this gene, but their full-length sequences have not been determined.
