We leverage our rich experience, professional expertise, and advanced technologies to speed up your scientific purposes of ubiquinone and other terpenoid-quinone biosynthesis analysis in animal.
Ubiquinone (UQ), also known as coenzyme Q (CoQ), is a redox-active lipid present in all cellular membranes in which it acts in a range of biological processes.UQ is a benzoquinone linked to a hydrophobic poly-isoprenoid tail. Therefore, the overall architecture of CoQ biosynthesis includes a long polyisoprenoid lipid tail coupling to a benzenoid precursor, and then benzenoid ring is further modified through consecutive steps to produce the final product. All eukaryotic cells can synthesize their own UQ isoprene units (CoQ9 or CoQ10). The pathogenesis of CoQ10 deficiency involves two main aspects: reduced ATP production and reactive oxygen species production, which is closely associated with human diseases like cancer. The terpenoids are the largest class of plant secondary metabolites, deriving from the 5-carbon compound isoprene. The starting primary metabolite for terpenoids synthesis is acetyl-CoA that goes through a series of reactions to condense three molecules of acetyl-CoA to mevalonic acid. The six-carbon mevalonic acid is the immediate precursor of the basic 5-carbon building blocks like isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP), which are key players in the terpenoids biosynthesis. A sufficient supply of IPP and DMAPP is the basic premise for terpenoids biosynthesis. Quinones are oxidized derivatives of aromatic compounds and are readily made from reactive aromatic compounds with electron-donating substituents such as phenols and catechols. Scientists at v-innovate Technologies take advantage of highly quantitative methods with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the determination of ubiquinone and other terpenoid-quinone biosynthesis related metabolites levels in various samples. Furthermore, we provide reliable, rapid and cost-effective ubiquinone and other terpenoid-quinone biosynthesis related service to speed up your research aims ranging from diseases diagnosis to gaining new insights in disease mechanism or treatment.
v-innovate Technologies provides ubiquinone and other terpenoid-quinone biosynthesis analysis service in a reliable and effective manner, based on our cutting-edge HPLC platforms. The experimental procedures contain four main procedures: sample collection, metabolites extraction, HPLC data analysis and bioinformatics analysis (Figure 1). Our service will be tailored to specific samples and needs for optimal results.
