PDSS2

Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: PDSS2
  • Official Name: decaprenyl diphosphate synthase subunit 2
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 57107
  • UniProt: Q86YH6
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that synthesizes the prenyl side-chain of coenzyme Q, or ubiquinone, one of the key elements in the respiratory chain. The gene product catalyzes the formation of all trans-polyprenyl pyrophosphates from isopentyl diphosphate in the assembly of polyisoprenoid side chains, the first step in coenzyme Q biosynthesis. Defects in this gene are a cause of coenzyme Q10 deficiency.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009].
  • UniProt Summary: Supplies decaprenyl diphosphate, the precursor for the side chain of the isoprenoid quinones ubiquinone-10. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16262699}.
