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] Expression Ubiquitous expression in kidney (RPKM 6.5), adrenal (RPKM 5.0) and 25 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
