|
| Function |
Catalyzes the prenylation of para-hydroxybenzoate (PHB) with an all-trans polyprenyl group. Mediates the second step in the final reaction sequence of coenzyme Q (CoQ) biosynthesis, which is the condensation of the polyisoprenoid side chain with PHB. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15153069}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Mitochondrion membrane {ECO:0000305}; Multi- pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Widely expressed. Present in all of the tissues tested. Expressed at higher level in skeletal muscle, adrenal glands and the heart. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15153069}.
