UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q566J8 (Q566J8)
Gene Name:
Coq8b
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse)
Function: Atypical kinase involved in the biosynthesis of coenzyme Q, also named ubiquinone, an essential lipid-soluble electron transporter for aerobic cellular respiration. Its substrate specificity is still unclear: may act as a protein kinase that mediates phosphorylation of COQ3 (By similarity). According to other reports, acts as a small molecule kinase, possibly a lipid kinase that phosphorylates a prenyl lipid in the ubiquinone biosynthesis pathway, as suggested by its ability to bind coenzyme Q lipid intermediates (By similarity). However, the small molecule kinase activity was not confirmed by another publication. Required for podocyte migration (By similarity)
