{"symbol":"PDSS2","synonyms":["HDLP1","C6ORF210","BA59I9.3","COQ10D3"],"name":"prenyl (decaprenyl) diphosphate synthase, subunit 2","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that synthesizes 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. Defects in this gene are a cause of coenzyme Q10 deficiency.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":57107,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/57107","proteins":[{"symbol":"DLP1_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/DLP1_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[]}
