Coq6 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables oxidoreductase activity, acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen, NAD(P)H as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen. Involved in ubiquinone biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is extrinsic component of mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in epididymis; heart; heart right ventricle; metanephros; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary coenzyme Q10 deficiency 6. Orthologous to human COQ6 (coenzyme Q6, monooxygenase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Coq6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
