Application

Coenzyme Q1 has been used to measure the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex 1 activity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Coenzyme Q1 (CoQ1) is a 1 isoprenyl group (not naturally occurring) member of a family of ubiquinones that share a quinine chemical group but differ in the number of isoprenyl chemical subunits in their tail. The CoQ compounds are lipid soluble components of cell membranes where they perform multiple functions such as electron and proton transport. The most well studied CoQ compound is CoQ10. CoQ1 is frequently used in comparison studies on the effect of isoprenyl chain length on CoQ functions or distribution and to identify quinone reductases.

General description

Coenzyme Q (CoQ) is localized to the hydrophobic domain of the phospholipid bilayer of mitochondria, plasma lipoproteins, and other biological membranes. It is a ubiquinone homolog with a short isoprenoid side chain.

Concomitant heart failure is associated with poor clinical outcome in dialysis patients. The arteriovenous shunt, created as vascular access for hemodialysis, increases ventricular volume-overload, predisposing patients to developing cardiac dysfunction. The integral function of mitochondrial respiration is critically important for

Statins, which are commonly used drugs for hypercholesterolemia, inhibit 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis. Important nonsterol compounds, such as ubiquinone, are also derived from the same synthetic pathway. Therefore it has been hypothesized that statin
