The clk-1 (Clock abnormal protein 1) gene encodes an enzyme (demethoxyubiquinone mono-oxygenase) that is necessary for ubiquinone biosynthesis in the worm Caenorhabditis elegans and other eukaryotes. The mouse version of the gene is called mclk1 and the human fruit fly and yeast homolog COQ7 (Coenzyme Q biosynthesis protein 7 homolog).Clk-1 is not to be confused with the unrelated CLK1 human gene which plays a role in RNA splicing.
