Para-hydroxybenzoate–polyprenyltransferase mitochondrial is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the COQ2 gene.CoQ (ubiquinone) serves as a redox carrier in the mitochondrial respiratory chain and is a lipid-soluble antioxidant. COQ2 or parahydroxybenzoate-polyprenyltransferase (EC 2.5.1.39) catalyzes one of the final reactions in the biosynthesis of CoQ the prenylation of parahydroxybenzoate with an all-trans polyprenyl group (Forsgren et al. 2004).[supplied by OMIM]
