All information provided in support of this product, including SDS and any product information leaflets have been developed and issued under the Authority of the issuing Pharmacopoeia.For further information and support please go to the website of the issuing Pharmacopoeia.
Ubidecarenone, well-known as coenzyme Q, is abundantly found in human cells, with major proportions being available in vital body organs such as heart and kidneys. It plays an important role in cell metabolism owing to its significant contribution to the electron transport pathway. It is a strong antioxidant and acts as an essential enzyme catalyst in oxidative phosphorylation taking place in the mitochondria.

Application

Ubidecarenone for system suitability may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations by liquid chromatography.
