Coenzyme Q<sub>9</sub> (CoQ<sub>9</sub>) is a nine isoprenyl group-containing member of the mitochondrial ubiquinone family that is thought to be necessary for the biosynthesis of CoQ<sub>10</sub> (Item No. <span class=/itemid/>11506</span>) in humans. Mutations in the gene that encodes CoQ<sub>9</sub> are associated with encephalomyopathy and autosomal-recessive, neonatal-onset, primary CoQ<sub>10</sub> deficiency. While in humans CoQ<sub>10</sub> predominates, mice and <em>C. elegans</em> primarily rely on CoQ<sub>9</sub> for electron transport through the mitochondrial respiratory chain and for antioxidant functions.
