PDSS1 antibody
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that elongates 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. The protein may be peripherally associated with the inner mitochondrial membrane, though no transit peptide has been definitively identified to date. Defects in this gene are a cause of coenzyme Q10 deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
DPS1: Supplies decaprenyl diphosphate, the precursor for the side chain of the isoprenoid quinones ubiquinone-10. Defects in PDSS1 are the cause of coenzyme Q10 deficiency, primary, type 2 (COQ10D2). An autosomal recessive multisystem disorder characterized by early-onset deafness, optic atrophy, mild mental retardation, peripheral neuropathy, obesity, livedo reticularis, and cardiac valvulopathy. Belongs to the FPP/GGPP synthase family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
