Ubiquinone-5 (CAS 727-81-1)
QUICK LINKS
Ubiquinone-5 is a lipid-soluble molecule that functions as an electron carrier in the electron transport chain of cellular respiration. It plays a role in transferring electrons from complex I and complex II to complex III, ultimately contributing to the generation of ATP. Ubiquinone-5 is involved in the oxidation-reduction reactions within the inner mitochondrial membrane, shuttling electrons and participating in the production of a proton gradient. This molecule acts as a coenzyme, facilitating the transfer of electrons from NADH and succinate to cytochrome c, which is important for ATP synthesis. At the molecular level, ubiquinone-5 undergoes reversible reduction and oxidation reactions, allowing it to transfer electrons and participate in the energy conversion process. Its mechanism of action involves interacting with various protein complexes and enzymes within the electron transport chain, enabling the efficient transfer of electrons and the production of ATP.
