    Also known as
    ATCOQ3; coenzyme Q 3; EMB3002; embryo defective 3002; F7F1.13; F7F1_13
    Summary
    The enzyme encoded by this gene has been shown to complement the Saccharomyces cerevisiae coq3 mutation and, therefore, to have hexaprenyldihydroxybenzoate methyltransferase activity. It is however likely that, in Arabidopsis, the enzyme catalyzes the methylation of nonaprenyldihydroxybenzoate as it is the prevalent polyprenoid in this plant species. The enzyme is a mitochondrial-localized methyltransferase involved in ubiquinone biosynthesis.
