Metabolite Identification
Common NameUbiquinol-6
DescriptionUbUbiquinone(Q) is an essential, lipid soluble, redox component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Much evidence suggests that ubiquinol (QH2) functions as an effective antioxidant in a number of membrane and biological systems by preventing peroxidative damage to lipids. It has been proposed that superoxide dismutase (SOD) may protect QH2 from autoxidation by acting either directly as a superoxide−semiquinone oxidoreductase or indirectly by scavenging superoxide. (Biochemistry, 1996, 35 (21), pp 6595 - 6603).
