ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionUbiquinol 8 belongs to the class of organic compounds known as polyprenyl quinols. Polyprenyl quinols are compounds containing a polyisoprene chain attached to a quinol(hydroquinone) at the second ring position. Ubiquinol 8 is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Ubiquinol 8 exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Ubiquinol 8 participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Ubiquinol 8 and dihydroxyacetone phosphate can be biosynthesized from coenzyme Q10 and glycerol 3-phosphate; which is mediated by the enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial. In addition, Ubiquinol 8 and fumaric acid can be biosynthesized from coenzyme Q10 and succinic acid through its interaction with the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase. In cattle, ubiquinol 8 is involved in the metabolic pathway called the mitochondrial electron transport chain pathway.
