	Coenzyme Q - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coenzyme Q (CoQ), also known as ubiquinone or ubiquinol, is a biologically active quinone with an isoprenoid side chain, related in structure to vitamin K and vitamin E.
		Coenzyme Q was first discovered in 1957 by professor F.
		Supplementation of Coenzyme Q10 has been found to have a beneficial effect on the condition of some sufferers of migraines, and is a common component of the "mito cocktail" used to treat mitochondrial disorders and other metabolic disorders.

	Coenzyme Q10, Linus Pauling Institute's Micronutrient Information Center
		Coenzyme Q is highly soluble in lipids (fats) and is found in virtually all cell membranes, as well as lipoproteins (2).
		The ability of the benzoquinone head group of coenzyme Q to accept and donate electrons is a critical feature in its physiological functions.
		Vitamin E: Alpha-tocopherol and coenzyme Q are the principal fat-soluble antioxidants in membranes and lipoproteins.

	Nutri-West Articles: Co-Q-10
		Coenzyme Q10 concentration in the mitochondria (sometimes called the "powerhouse" of the cell) is not believed to be saturated, which is one of the reasons researchers think that supplementation is having beneficial effects (Clin Investig 1993;71(8 Suppl):S66-70).
		In one clinical trial, 150 mg/day of coenzyme Q10 was administered for 10 months to two patients with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, and results showed a significant improvement in oxygen consumption, in the ability to reach a higher workload and improvement of mitochondrial function (Neurology 1992;42(6):1203).

	COENZYME Q (UBIQUINONE, UBIQUINOL AND SEMIQUINONE)
		CoEnzyme Q, Vitamin E and Vitamin K are all structurally similar in having an electron-accepting group attached to a chain of very hydrophobic (lipophilic) isoprene units.
		Of the three molecules, CoEnzyme Q has by far the most isoprenes, is by far the most lipophilic and forms the most stable free-radical.
		Although 80% of CoEnzyme Q is found in mitochondria, its presence in microsomes, Golgi apparatus and plasma membranes indicates its importance as an endogenously produced lipid-phase antioxidant.

		Coenzyme Q10 is a vitaminlike substance whose actions in the body resemble those of vitamin E. It may be an even more powerful antioxidant.
		The amount of coenzyme Q10 present in the body declines with age, so it should be supplemented in the diet, especially by people who are over the age of fifty.

	Questions and Answers About Coenzyme Q
		Interest in coenzyme Q as a potential treatment for cancer began in 1961, when a deficiency of the enzyme was noted in the blood of cancer patients.
		Low blood levels of coenzyme Q have been found in patients with myeloma, lymphoma, and cancers of the breast, lung, prostate, pancreas, colon, kidney, and head and neck.
		Researchers are studying whether using coenzyme Q along with conventional therapies is positive (i.e., does not interfere with the effects of the conventional therapies, or increases the therapies' beneficial effects on cancer cells while protecting normal cells) or negative (i.e., interferes with the therapeutic effects).

	Science Show - 16/03/2002: Coenzyme Q
		Many people take Coenzyme Q as an anti-aging supplement along with their daily vitamin pills, but scientists working with nematode worms have found it to have quite the opposite effect in adult worms.
		Catherine Clarke: Well, we were studying the biosynthetic pathway of coenzyme Q or ubiquinone, and there was a mutation in a worm, the C elegans, that prevented it’s synthesis and interestingly enough this mutant had been described initially as being very slow, very sluggish and having a longer life span.
		It’s possible that the same could be true with coenzyme Q but there’s not nearly as much known about the trafficking and uptake and even just basic questions of metabolism about coenzyme Q as there is known about cholesterol.

	Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
		The major difference among the various coenzymes Q is in the number of isoprenoid units (5-carbon structures) in the "tail." Coenzymes Q contain one to 12 isoprenoid units in the "tail"; 10 isoprenoid units are common in animals.
		Coenzymes Q occur in the majority of aerobic organisms, from bacteria to plants and animals.
		The structures of coenzymes Q are analogous to those of vitamin K2.

	Coenzyme Q Shortens Life Span Of Worms Substantially, UCLA Chemists Report
		In this respect, Coenzyme Q, a component of the cell necessary for growth and development, is similar to cholesterol, the UCLA biochemists said.
		Most of the worms, with mutations in different genes, developed normally on a diet with Coenzyme Q during their first three-and-a-half days of life, but those with a mutation in a particular gene (known as the clk-1 gene) were an exception.
		Coenzyme Q plays an important role in energy metabolism, and performs several other functions in cells, some of which are understood only poorly or not at all, Clarke and Larsen said.

	Catherine Clarke Summary
		Coenzyme Q is a lipid component of cellular membranes that plays an essential role in generating energy.
		We are characterizing the mutants in order to study the biosynthesis and regulation of coenzyme Q. My lab is involved in isolating and elucidating the structures of the coenzyme Q biosynthetic intermediates, and we use molecular genetic techniques to isolate and characterize the genes encoding yeast and mammalian coenzyme Q biosynthetic enzymes.
