It is a component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III. This protein is expressed in various tissues throughout the body with a higher concentration in tissues that require substantial energy production. UQCRQ plays a mechanical role in the electron transport chain facilitating the transfer of electrons between coenzyme Q and cytochrome c. This process contributes to the proton gradient used by ATP synthase for ATP synthesis.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nUQCRQ is a part of the cytochrome bc1 complex which is a critical enzyme in the mitochondrial inner membrane. This complex is essential in cellular respiration helping in the conversion of energy from nutrients into usable cellular energy in the form of ATP. The activity of UQCRQ is important for maintaining the efficiency of this larger complex and any disruption can significantly affect cellular energy homeostasis. UQCRQ supports the integrity of mitochondrial function impacting both energy production and reactive oxygen species management.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nUQCRQ is pivotal in oxidative phosphorylation and the electron transport chain specifically within the mitochondrial respiratory complex III. It works closely with other proteins in the complex such as cytochrome b and cytochrome c1 ensuring efficient electron transfer. Through these pathways UQCRQ contributes to oxidative stress regulation and cellular energy metabolism linking energy-producing mechanisms to broader cellular processes like apoptosis and cell growth.\u003cbr\u003e\nUQCRQ has associations with mitochondrial disorders and myopathies. Mutations or dysfunctions in UQCRQ can lead to impaired energy production manifesting in conditions like mitochondrial encephalomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The dysfunction in UQCRQ can affect proteins such as cytochrome c which plays a role in apoptosis potentially leading to neurodegenerative changes seen in mitochondrial-related diseases. Understanding the implications of UQCRQ in these conditions can guide the development of therapeutic strategies targeting mitochondrial dysfunction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845077782697,"sku":"ab267244","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab267244","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
