Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10, is a vital compound that occurs naturally in virtually every cell of the human body. Because of its widespread presence in nature and its quinone structure, it is also referred to as ubiquinone. CoQ10 can be found in cell membranes, where it is well known for its role in the electron transport chain during aerobic cellular respiration in mitochondrial membranes. Sufficient amounts of CoQ10 are necessary for cellular respiration and ATP production. Furthermore, CoQ10 serves as an intercellular antioxidant and has been found in all cell membranes, as well as in blood, in both high- and low-density lipoproteins, where it possesses antioxidant properties. Additionally, CoQ10 has been found to impact gene expression, which may account for its effects on overall tissue metabolism.
