Atypical kinase COQ8A, mitochondrial

https://identifiers.org/uniprot:Q60936

Function: Atypical kinase involved in the biosynthesis of coenzyme Q, also named ubiquinone, an essential lipid-soluble electron transporter for aerobic cellular respiration (PubMed:27499294). Its substrate specificity is unclear: does not show any protein kinase activity (PubMed:27499294). Probably acts as a small molecule kinase, possibly a lipid kinase that phosphorylates a prenyl lipid in the ubiquinone biosynthesis pathway, as suggested by its ability to bind coenzyme Q lipid intermediates (By similarity). Shows an unusual selectivity for binding ADP over ATP (By similarity).
